Legendary architects like Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter and Charles F. Whittlesey designed a number of the historic buildings at Grand Canyon today. The Kolb Studio was once the home of the Kolb brothers, who were prolific photographers during the early days of the Grand Canyon, go to great length, and in some cases great personal risk, to get the first amazing photographs of the Canyon. Today the Kolb Studio has been fully restored and is used as a bookstore and auditorium for the public.
Art exhibits are ongoing and are free.
You can check at the National Park Service Grand Canyon Visitors Center for a schedule of exhibits. The Kolb Studio is located in the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, at the Bright Angel Trailhead. The Hopi House was original designed by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter as a home for Native Americans to live and create arts and crafts. Designed as a classic pueblo, this well built building is a must see while at the Canyon. The original natural materials can still be seen today inside and this building was constructed so well, little has been done to it over the last 80 plus years.
