The Family of Man Guided Tours

Today the exhibition is registered on the UNESCO Memory of the world list and is located in the renovated Clervaux Castle.The exhibition was conceived by Edward Steichen as a series of snapshots and emotions that aimed to convey a message of peace in times of the Cold War. The reactions of visitors, however, still bear witness to the current character of the photographs, some of which have even become icons of photographic history.

This tour was recommended to me and I can recommend it further. A guide shared some interesting facts and payed our attention to interesting details related to pictures and the way they are exposed. There was enough time to walk around and have your own moment with photos. After excursion we were offered to stay and enjoy the exhibition more, but what we had was completely enough. Thank you!
