The exhibition encompasses five sections:
the life and work of O. Barnack
the development from camera to building the Leica
taking photographs with the Leica
the Leica-Factory in Solms near Wetzlar
and cameras and their development

Special objects of interests are original sketches by O. Barnack, a copy of the original-Leica from 1914 as well as some photographs taken by him.

It is the concern to research the life of Oscar Barnack further and to extend the exhibition constantly in co-operation with the Leica-factory.
