Pee-wee Herman’s original red bike has found a new home at the Alamo.
On Friday, the Alamo revealed in a celebratory Instagram post that the stunt bicycle featured in the original 1985 film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure will be featured in the museum that is set to open in 2027.
“In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure this summer, the Alamo has officially acquired the original screen-used stunt bike from the film,” the post read. “The bike will be permanently displayed in the future Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, opening in Fall 2027.”
While there’s still roughly two years until Pee-wee’s iconic red bike will be available to view at the Alamo, they further announced that fans will be available to see the piece of movie magic in a limited-time showing inside the Ralston Family Collection Center.
“We’ll also be hosting a free public screening of the film in the newly reopened Plaza de Valero. Until then, don’t worry… the bike will be stored for safekeeping,” the post concluded. “Maybe in the basement!”
In Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Paul Reubens‘ Pee-wee Herman heads out on quite a big adventure to get his stolen bike back. Early in May, People reported the bike had been sold at a memorabilia auction to a private collector for $125,000.
