Just outside Birmingham sits one of the most remarkable and surprising treasures in all of Alabama, a world-class museum that draws visitors and enthusiasts from every corner of the globe. It is the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, home to the largest collection of motorcycles anywhere on earth, and it is a genuine wonder to behold.
Housed in a stunning modern building on beautifully landscaped grounds, the museum holds an almost unbelievable collection of gleaming, meticulously restored motorcycles, more than a thousand of them, spanning the entire history of the machine.
Row upon row, level upon level, they are displayed like works of art, their chrome polished to a mirror shine and their colors as bright as the day they were made.
Alongside the motorcycles sits a prized collection of rare vintage race cars, including some of the most valuable and historic racing machines ever built.
Walking through the galleries, you move through more than a century of design, engineering, and racing history, from the earliest primitive machines to sleek modern marvels. It is a feast for the eyes whether or not you ever rode a motorcycle in your life.
The grounds surrounding the museum are just as impressive, featuring a renowned race track set in rolling, park-like scenery dotted with whimsical sculptures.
It has earned international acclaim and recognition as one of the finest collections of its kind in the entire world, right here in the heart of Alabama. It stands as proof that this state holds wonders to rival any in the nation.
Folks come from all over the world to see it, and they leave amazed that such a collection is tucked away here in the Alabama countryside. It is the sort of place that makes you proud of what this state can do.
The Barber museum is a dazzling and world-famous jewel of sweet home Alabama.
