The Bob Ross Experience

Minnetrista Museum & Gardens

Step inside the studio where Bob Ross filmed The Joy of Painting and be transported back in time. The Minnetrista Cultural Foundation partnered with Taylor Studios to create a memorable exhibit that inspires visitors with Bob’s message of positivity, passion, and possibility.

Every detail in the studio serves as a time capsule, from the untouched decor to the canvas on the easel. Visitors can explore Bob’s iconic artwork and hear his famous expressions. The exhibit also features touchable and interactive elements that invite discovery, making the experience engaging for everyone.
