With the addition to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum nearing completion, the final touches are wrapping up. One of the focal points of the addition is the freestanding spiral staircase around the elevator. We were able to document the construction of the staircase and share it here.
Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum announces 84,000-square-foot expansion
WBA is excited to be a part of the major expansion at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. The expansion will create a total of 250,000 square feet of museum space.
“This expansion will help keep us as the benchmark for motorcycle collections worldwide, people visit Birmingham from all over the world to see this museum and its collection, and we want to continue to ‘wow’ them with what they see. With programs and events like the Porsche Sport Driving School, the Mercedes‐Benz Brand Immersion Program, the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama and the Triumph Superbike Challenge, it’s important that we always present an impeccable image for our sponsors and fans.”
Installation of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum Bridge
The new bridge at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum has been installed across the track. The bridge was built by Pioneer Bridges and delivered to the museum by truck. Two cranes were on site to lift the bridge sections onto place connecting the museum to the infield of the track.
