About The Bob Ross Experience

Housed in the historic Lucius L. Ball home at Minnetrista, this exhibition explores the life, philosophy, and art of Bob Ross. Visitors can step into a restored television studio and stand at the easel where he filmed, then see a recreated 1980s living room. Original paintings and artifacts are on display. Upstairs, the Gallery hosts rotating shows of more Ross artwork, each built around a theme. Visitors can also book painting workshops in the building where the show was filmed, taught by Certified Ross Instructors using his wet-on-wet technique.
