Clervaux Castle is now home to the great photographic project of Edward Steichen. Born in Luxembourg in 1879, he was a small child when his family moved to the United States. As an artist, he became interested in photography and in 1955 he organized the famous exhibition in New York depicting the human experience. The 500 photographs were selected from about two million taken by both unknown and famous photographers in 68 countries. He died in 1973 in Connecticut and, in accordance with his wishes, the exhibition was donated to the Duchy of Luxembourg.
