Those Amazing Kolb Brothers A Grand Life at the Grand Canyon Exhibit Opens December 19, 2011 Kolb Studio on the South Rim

At first glance, Kolb Studio is just a house perched on the rim of the Grand Canyon, but, if you look behind the doors or see it from the Bright Angel Trail after a long hike from the river, you realize it is much more than that.

Kolb Studio is the place where the Kolb Brothers created a lasting legacy of adventure, family love, and amazing Grand Canyon photography that will last as long as the Canyon itself.

Open Daily 8:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m. (winter hours)

This exhibit about the Kolb Brothers happens to coincide with the 100th anniversary of "the Big Trip;" their famous 1912 river trip, and Arizona's statehood centennial.

The goal of this exhibit is to share their stories with the thousands of park visitors who will visit Kolb Studio, allowing them the opportunity to view the Grand Canyon through the eyes and camera lens of the Emery and Ellsworth. There is more to learn about their adventures on the Colorado River, including screenings of their motion picture that remains a box office hit - showing for more than sixty years in the auditorium/gallery at Kolb Studio.

Through the years, the KoIb Brothers have inspired visitors from around the world with their sense of wonder brought about through their connection to the Grand Canyon.

Kolb Studio
Once the home and business of the Kolb brothers, pioneering photographers and filmmakers at Grand Canyon, this rambling, Victorian era building (1905) has been restored to its original splendor.
