Description
For those with an interest in Grand Canyon history, see the Amazing Kolb Brothers Exhibit at Kolb Studio, house-turned-museum perched perilously on a western precipice in Grand Canyon Village. — View the antique cameras used by our pioneer photographers, study paintings by plein-air artists, and watch their 1912 motion picture travelogue, about their exploration of Grand Canyon and river trips down the Colorado River.
Nearly demolished in the 1960s, this structure stands today as a park icon, art gallery, and bookstore for visitors in the vicinity of Bright Angel Trail.
Currently operated by the park's non-profit partner, Grand Canyon Conservancy, visitors can purchase artwork, books, gifts, souvenirs, and basic hiking gear, or simply stop by for park information and the Amazing the Kolb Brothers Exhibit about the life and adventures on the edge of Grand Canyon.
