The Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery: Dallas' Premier Motorbike Experience

Located in the heart of Dallas’ Design District, the Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery is a hidden gem for motorcycle enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Since its grand opening in April 2018, the 20,000‑square‑foot facility has proudly displayed 132 vintage, racing, and custom motorcycles that span more than a century of engineering and design. Each piece is mounted on a custom platform with mirrored bases, allowing guests to view the entire machine from every angle.

Founded by Dallas financier and National Geographic photographer Robert B. Haas—affectionately known as “Bobby”—the museum is organized into four distinct sections. These rooms showcase everything from historic classics to cutting‑edge custom builds, all curated with a deep respect for the sport’s heritage.

History Hall offers a walking tour of motorcycle evolution, from early French motorbikes that were essentially bicycles with gasoline engines to wartime machines and the iconic Captain America chopper replica from the 1969 film Easy Rider. Each exhibit tells its own compelling story.

Race Track features over 100 years of racing bikes, illustrating humanity’s relentless pursuit of speed. Visitors can see early models from Peugeot and Indian alongside modern powerhouses from Suter and Ducati, a testament to the sport’s relentless innovation.

The Sidecar Alcove is Bobby’s personal favorite, showcasing colorful three‑wheeled machines from around the globe that blend function and design, encouraging companionship on the road.

The museum’s final room, the Custom Shop, houses 34 one‑of‑a‑kind custom‑built bikes and prototypes from world‑renowned designers such as Max Hazan and Craig Rodsmith. This collection stands alone in its diversity and artistic excellence.
