Autoseum in Simrishamn
Autoseum in Simrishamn in Skåne is really worth a visit. The collection, which consists of a total of 350 cars and motorcycles spread over a total of 6,000 square meters, ranges widely in terms of brands and models. I focused on the motorcycle exhibition, and was positively surprised. I have rarely seen so many classic R-bikes from the 1980s and 1990s, all in pristine original condition. Mopeds from manufacturers such as Puch , Kreidler and Zundapp were also fun to see, in addition to a number of other motorcycle brands of various years.

Eds MC- og Motormuseum
It is widely known that the Swedes have, and have had, a significant industrial production, and several well-known and unknown motorcycle brands were made on the other side of the national border. I took a trip to Eds MC- og Motormuseum to take a closer look at the motorcycles in the exhibition, and saw a number of exciting models.
Norsk Kjøretøyhistorisk Museum
After visiting a number of great motorcycle museums at home and abroad, it was time to visit our own vehicle history museum at Hunderfossen to see the motorcycle and moped collection. It was a great trip, and a visit to the museum is highly recommended.
Museo Ducati
Bucket lists exist for so many things, including motorcycle museums that are worth a visit. After having been to, among other things, Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee and the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, it was time for a visit to Ducati Museum in Bologna. The museum located in Via Antonio Cavalieri Ducati 3 is not among the largest motorcycle museums, but on the other hand the exhibition is pure "tenderloin" when it comes to motorcycle history.
The motorcycles and scooters from the Eastern Bloc
Maico Mobile 175 ccm with Steib sidecar, 1953 model.
Harley-Davidson Museum
Milwaukee is the place where Harley-Davidson was established, and where they launched their first motorcycle in 1903. Few, if any motorcycle brands, are as legendary and iconic as Harley. The museum, located at 400 West Canal Street, in central Milwaukee, displays a rich selection of models from 1903 to the present day. I've been across the "pond" for a visit, and in addition to well-known and beloved classics such as the Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead and Evolution, you can see products such as scooters, small speedboats, and last but not least prototypes of engines that were never put into production. I recommend spending at least a full day, because on the two floors there is a lot of exciting stuff to digest. The museum shop is also "mandatory", at least if you ride a Harley, and want to take home some equipment or clothing with the famous "Bar and shield" logo. Here is a small selection from my visit to Milwaukee.
Arvika Fordonsmuseum
Sweden has several beautiful motor museum, and I have been to Arvika and visited Arvika Fordonsmuseum . The museum was opened in 1995, and is located in an old industrial building at Thermiavegen 2. Here you will find a great collection of, among other things, cars, mopeds and motorcycles that are worth a visit. More information about opening hours and about the exhibition can be found on the museum's website: www.arvikafordon.se
Danmarks Tekniske Museum
Danmarks Tekniske Museum is located in Helsingør, about 45 km north of Copenhagen.
The motorcycles at Egeskov Slot
Denmark offers a variety of exciting motorcycle museumsWhen I checked up some facts about the motorcycle collection at Egeskov Slot on Zealand, I quickly came to the conclusion that a visit was in order. The museum is very extensive, and houses a collection of airplanes, cars and motorcycles that would take a couple of days to get through.
