"The Family of Man" is one of the most viewed photo exhibitions of all time: 10 million people have visited it since the 1950's.

I and my friends, we spent a very nice time on Sunday afternoon there. We decided to take a guided tour which was very professional and informative, the story line was interesting and involves you so much! I highly recommend to experience this. It is super easy to book tickets online, find the place. The connection with Clervaux is good.
Splendid

What an amazing exposition.It really is worth a trip from Holland/Belgium to Luxembourg. The gide did a very good job leading us through the story behind the photo's, the collector and the time in where it was exposed first. I would really recommend this offer to my friends!
Impressif!

The exhibition itself was so incredible and touching! We had booked a guided tour per accident but I was glad, because we wouldn‘t have understood the photos on the same level if we would have gone through by ourselves. I would come back if it weren‘t so far. Totally recommend!
