Question

Wat is man by family ?

Answer 1

The Family of Man was an ambitious[1] photography exhibition curated by Edward Steichen, the director of the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) Department of Photography. It was first shown in 1955 from January 24 to May 8 at the New York MoMA, then toured the world for eight years, making stops in thirty-seven countries on six continents as part of the Museum's International Program. More than 9 million people viewed the exhibit.

According to Steichen, the exhibition represented the "culmination of his career."[2]

The physical collection is archived and displayed[3] at Clervaux Castle in Luxembourg (Edward Steichen's home country; he was born there in 1879 in Bivange). It was first presented there in 1994 after restoration of the prints.[4]

In 2003 the Family of Man photographic collection was added to UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in recognition of its historical value.[5]
