About

In 1996, Atlanta hosted the Centennial Olympic Games and the tenth Paralympic Games. Nearly thirty years later, this signature exhibition considers the impact of the Games on the city and our lives. The Games mean something different to everyone, including individuals involved in preparations, people living near venues, competitors, and fans. The exhibition places the recent past within the context of Atlanta’s longer history of reinvention and growth initiatives, prompting visitors to think about how we can change the places in which we live.
