The C²DH - Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History is carrying out a research project entitled FoMLEG (The Legacy of The Family of Man). This project seeks to shed new light on Edward Steichen’s iconic photographic exhibition by exploring its international tour during the Cold War (1955–1963) and its history in Luxembourg since 1965.

As part of this research, they are gathering personal stories, memories, and experiences connected to The Family of Man. Whether you visited the exhibition during its original world tour, encountered it in Clervaux, or feel a personal or cultural connection to its themes, your perspective matters.

We invite you to share:

  • Personal recollections of visiting the exhibition
  • Photographs, letters, or memorabilia related to the exhibition
  • Reflections on how the exhibition shaped your view of photography, humanity, or cultural identity

Your contributions will help us better understand the many ways in which The Family of Man has resonated with individuals and communities over time. Selected stories may be featured in future publications, exhibitions, or in a digital archive, contributing to a more inclusive and diverse collective memory.
