Activities for Children and Teenagers
Young people see the world with different eyes and perceive things that adults often overlook. Photography offers them the opportunity to express things that are important to them from their own perspective. This can not only improve their perception of others and themselves, but also their creativity and it increases their self-confidence. With various offers, we want to introduce young people to photography and open up a field for them in which they can develop independently.
Experiencing and Understanding Photography
How does a darkroom work, which sounds do the various shutter releases make and how do light and shadow affect photography? In the interactive Ernst Leitz Museum, children and young people can immerse themselves in photography, create their own photographs and look behind the history of the Leica brand.
- Opening times: daily from 10 am to 6 pm
- Up to 8 years: free entry
- Up to 16 years: 8,- Euros
