On May 4th, the final steel beam was hoisted into place atop the 80-foot-high south tower of the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. James Biber and his team were on hand to celebrate alongside Willie G. Davidson, the company’s senior vice president and grandson of one of the founders, and other project collaborators.

The Pentagram-designed museum is slated to open in 2008. Construction can be followed via this webcam.

More pics after the jump.
