The Steichen Collections

The Steichen Collections of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg showcase the works and heritage of photographer and curator, Edward J. Steichen (18791973). The two exhibitions, The Family of Man and The Bitter Years, displayed and preserved by the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel (CNA), highlight Steichen’s remarkable achievements as curator and display the works of other notable photographers from the 20th century. The American artist of Luxembourgish descent is renowned for his remarkably long and successful career in photography. As well as a distinguished photographer, Steichen was director of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
