We are looking into a ride to the museum and will have to leave our gear on the bikes.
How secure is the bike parking area, should we be concerned.

We parked ours there with 2 weeks worth of gear strapped to our bikes for a good 6-7 hours the first day the Mikwaukee Rally started last week, and everything was fine. There will likely be many other bikes parked beside yours, and people milling about regularly, you probably don't have anything to worry about.

You have nothing to worry about there. Been there many of times , have lunch there often. Now if you are staying at a motel by the Airport best to take your stuff inside.
Bike will be fine. They have no use for it.
A lot plenty of time to tour the museum . lot to see and take in.
Milwaukee is a rough town filled with issue location, location, location. If a place don't feel right it best to move on.
Enjoy your trip and set most of your worries aside.
