Material World
Collection by Peter Menzel
Terminal 5



This exhibit features photographs from Material World: A Global Family Portrait (Sierra Club Books) - a bold and imaginative book that portrays both the common humanity of the peoples inhabiting our Earth and the great differences in material circumstances that make societies rich and poor. Through vivid photographs, photojournalist Peter Menzel, writer Faith D'Aluisio, and their dedicated team give us a rare glimpse into how people live, their livelihoods, their possessions, their aspirations, their difficulties and their achievements - an unprecedented group portrait of our global community.
