What says Atlanta most? The Pink Pig? The Ramblin Wreck? A locomotive named the Texas?

The Atlanta History Center — with helpful suggestions from its visitors — has created a new exhibit that tries to sum up the city in 50 objects.

(Surprisingly, a wrecking ball isn't one of them.)

Those objects include the katana swords used by the character Michonne in “The Walking Dead” (which is filmed hereabouts) and a microscope from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The exhibit opens Jan. 16, but you can read about it here.
