Category:Museo Officine Benelli, Motorcycle museum in Pesaro, Italy.
Description
The Museo Officine Benelli occupies a former manufacturing facility and displays motorcycles from both Benelli and MotoBi across different production eras. The collection is arranged across several exhibition spaces that document these brands from their early days through several decades of development.
History
Benelli began in the 1890s and became one of Italy's leading motorcycle manufacturers over the following decades. The building itself served as the company's production hub until the late 1980s, keeping original factory equipment and machinery intact.
Culture
The museum reflects how Benelli shaped local manufacturing identity and motorcycle culture across generations. It shows how these machines represented affordable personal mobility and racing passion for everyday people.
Practical
Plan your visit on a weekday, as the museum has split opening hours with a midday closure. It is worth checking ahead to confirm opening times and allowing a few hours to see all the exhibition spaces comfortably.
