Patrons may also participate in complimentary Leica Akademie Lectures that teach the art of photography by providing insight on how to capture breathtaking imagery through the viewfinder of a Leica Camera. Small class sizes and personalized interaction with an experienced Leica instructor inspires students to share images, techniques and insights.
