Layout

The layout of the Family of Man exhibition in MoMA was aimed to create an experience for the visitor to read the exhibition as a photographic essay about human growth.

From lovers, childbirth to household and office work, then to the death and finally back to children in the end. Photos were chosen according to their capacity of communicating a story, or a feeling. Images were grouped together according to diverse themes. Each of the themes builds upon the next, creating a more complex story of humanity.

The exhibition heritage today at Clervaux respects and follows the layout of the original exhibition at MoMA in order to recreate the visitor experience and the effect the images have on them.
