The Harley-Davidson Museum will host an exclusive exhibition of paintings, sketches, artifacts, photos and more from the personal collection of Willie G. Davidson, grandson of one of the company's founders and influential Harley-Davidson designer.

The exhibit will be displayed in the Willie G. Davidson Design Lab through April. A special program, "Untold Stories: Wanderings, an Evening with Willie G.," will also be held Thursday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. to offer guests a chance to hear from the artist himself. Tickets to "Untold Stories" are $12 for museum members and $15 for non-members.
