Copious amount of pictures from various seasons. Clean and inviting. If your into his brand of paint you can purchase jars/tubes of various sizes. Paraphernalia, such as t-shirts & mugs to purchase. There was 1 painting were the picture look liked wood, but it was painted as part of the picture.

What a fabulous gem.

I grew up watching Bob Ross when I was younger so this was a fan girl moment. We were allowed to walk in as a class was in session but woah was I blown away by the students work and the museum. Had we more time in Florida we would have taken a class based on being able to view the class in session. They have a mini store with shirts, art supplies, magnets.

A fantastic place where you are warmly welcomed and can see quite a few Bob Ross original paintings. They sell Bob Ross products and do painting classes here in Bob’s old studio.

We went this weekend with my brother in law. It was great to see Bob's work, but later learning more about the Kowalski dealings, it was very disappointing. I can't recommend supporting a business that was so insensitive and ruthless. You should be ashamed.

Bob Ross is my hero! All anyone wants to know is your goals and aspirations and the only thing I could ever come up with is "to be happy" I'm HAPPY to announce my new goal is to become a (CRI) Certified Ross Instructor. 2/9/19

This gallery has 53 original Ross paintings and 2 by his son, Steven. It also has several floral paintings by his longtime business partner, Annette Kowalski.

At this workshop, they offer oil painting classes featuring Bob Ross's unique style on more than 300 PBS stations, reasonably priced and with all supplies included.

Oh! They also have on show Bob Ross’s easel and you can see where he “slapped the devil” out of his paintbrush.

Bob Ross. Truly one of the greatest humans ever. Such a joy to be able to see his actual artwork in person. True HD. If you don't know who he is, please do yourself a favor and watch his videos on YouTube

I have been meaning to write a review about the Bob Ross art gallery and workshop since the day I went. Before I went, I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and saw that their lowest rating was four stars. In all of the reviews, there was never even the first single-word about the facility. between that fact, and my love for Bob Ross art, I booked myself into one of their classes.

There are no words to describe what a magical experience that day was. I am absolutely terrible when it comes to creative painting. I can paint the house, I can paint a wall, but asked me to paint something abstract and creative, and I'm going to fail. At least, that's what I thought, until I took the Bob Ross class.

Bob Ross was more than just a painter, he represents a type of peace that is apparently contagious, and that was evidenced upon walking through the doors of the gallery. The two people that were running it we're above and beyond super nice, and exuded happiness. That quickly rubbed off on to all of us taking the class. From the first brush strokes of phthalo blue that created my sky and water, complete down to the very last happy little tree that I painted, it was all together a wonderful experience. Such a good experience, in fact, that I booked myself into three more classes before I even left that day; and have gotten at least seven other friends of mine interested and wanting to join me at some classes.

The $50 price tag includes the instruction, the canvas (which can be bought separately for $10, so let's start doing the math of what a great deal this is), use of all painting tools required, all the paints that were required for that particular picture (and if you ran out of any color, they were more than happy to provide you with more), and the phenomenal instruction from the teacher.

My overall experience and recommendation is that if you are planning a trip to or near New Smyrna Beach, call ahead and see if they have a class available. It's worth the time and money in every sense.
