After the world tour concluded, the prints returned to Luxembourg as a gift from Edward Steichen to his country of birth. Since 1994, the collection has been on permanent display at Clervaux Castle, curated by the Centre national de l’audiovisuel (CNA). A major restoration and re-installation was completed between 2010 and 2013.
