“Malcolm! honors the legendary career of off-road racing champion, movie star, motorcycling ambassador, tireless fundraiser and mega-dealer Malcolm Smith. One of the most multi-faceted competitors ever to take to the dirt, Smith wowed fans for over three decades with numerous trips to the victory podium. His racing career included six Baja 1000 victories, four Baja 500 wins, eight gold medals at the International Six Day Trials (ISDT) and a collection of four-wheel victories. However, it was his co-starring role in the 1971 moto movie epic On Any Sunday that garnered him the most recognition. Produced by Bruce Brown and Steve McQueen, the movie helped launch America’s love affair with dirt biking - and introduced Smith to scores of new fans. Malcolm! is the fourth in a series of Legends exhibits at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. The exhibit will feature machines and memorabilia from Smith’s own collection. Significant motorcycles will include Smith’s first race bike, a 1950 Matchless, and the Husqvarna 400 Cross he rode in On Any Sunday. Additional bikes include Smith’s first-ever motorcycle, a Lambretta 125DL, and the 1967 Husqvarna ISDE 250 he rode to his first ISDT gold medal. Ephemera such as trophies from Smith’s Baja 1000 victories, ISDT gear, personal photographs and previously unseen video will illustrate his illustrious career.”

“The Ohio State University and Thurber House proudly present the first public showing of Thurber: Unpublished and Uncensored. Sex, War and Dogs, original drawings by author, humorist and New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber. The vast majority of the collection have never been published and most have never before been seen. The selections from the 68 drawings will be on display at the Thurber Center, located next to the Thurber House and Museum. The James Thurber drawings selected from the Ohio State University Rare Books & Manuscripts library encompass nearly two thirds of the original drawings donated to the university from the estate of Nora Sayre, renowned film critic and daughter of Joel Sayre, James Thurber’s colleague and friend from the New Yorker. The drawings on display (circa 1935-1945) include those bordering on the risque, the libelous, and the sardonic.”
