Bob Ross Experience

by Matt Howell | Feb 10, 2021 | Arts and Culture, Attractions, Bob Ross, What to Do

Explore the life, philosophy, and art of the iconic American painter inside the historic home where The Joy of Painting was filmed!

Bob Ross inspired generations of viewers with his soft-spoken voice and a pallet knife. With its global reach, it’s hard to imagine that much of his beloved series, The Joy of Painting, was filmed in an unassuming television studio inside a historic home in Muncie, Indiana. Now a part of Minnetrista’s campus, the historic home has been transformed into an immersive museum exhibit that transports visitors to where the magic happened.

Visitors will step inside the recreated television studio and be inspired by Bob’s message of fearless creativity. Through original artifacts, authentic Bob Ross paintings, and interactive exhibit elements, the Bob Ross Experience brings The Joy of Painting to life.
