"If The Family of Man operated in 1950s America as a way to elide or manage traumas and crises ranging from the Holocaust to the dislocations of postwar masculinity [...] It is, after all, not such a great leap from the humanist pieties of The Family of Man to Benetton's, Nike's, or IBM's vision of a multicultural and harmonious family of consumers."--Photography after Photography: Gender, Genre, History (2017) by Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Sarah Parsons

The Family of Man was a photography exhibition curated by Edward Steichen first shown in 1955 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The exhibit was turned into a book of the same name, containing an introduction by Carl Sandburg who was Steichen's brother-in-law. The book was reproduced in a variety of formats (most popularly a pocket-sized volume) in the 1950s, and reprinted in large format for its 40th anniversary. It has sold more than 4 million copies.

The exhibition later travelled in several versions to 38 countries. More than 9 million people viewed the exhibit. The only surviving edition was presented to Luxembourg, the country of Steichen's birth, and is on permanent display in Clervaux. In 2003 the Family of Man photographic collection was added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in recognition of its historical value.
