The Atlanta History Center on Wednesday opened a new photography exhibition featuring 75 rarely seen images from the 1996 Summer Olympics.

The exhibition, “Atlanta ‘96: A Summer Remembered,” runs through October 31 in the center’s DuBose Family Gallery. Many of the photographs were taken by AJC photographers and have never been publicly displayed.

“This was the moment Atlanta announced itself to the world,” said Atlanta History Center president Sheffield Hale. “We wanted to capture the joy, the spectacle, and the resilience of that summer.”
