'Family of Man' Catalog, Reissue

Background information

"Hailed as the most successful exhibition of photography ever assembled, 'The Family of Man' opened at The Museum of Modern Art in January 1955. It was groundbreaking in its scope - 503 images by 273 photographers originating in 69 countries - as well as in the numbers of people who experienced it on its tour through 88 venues in 37 countries. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this classic and inspiring work, MoMA is releasing this edition.

Content
