Prince's residence will be turned into a museum

Paisley Park, the place where the famous artist Prince lived and created his work, will be partially transformed into a museum in order to allow fans all over the world to better understand the lifestyle of their favorite singer. Starting October, everyone is welcomed to visit this emblematic place where the artist died in April, according to AFP.

The authorized institution that manages the Prince's estate will work with the company that manages Graceland, Elvis Presley's famous residence where the King of rock and roll is buried. Located in Memphis (Tennessee), Graceland attracts more than 600,000 visitors a year.
The fact that Paisley Park, the Minnesota home and studio complex of the late legendary musician, could be turned into a museum was also agreed by his brother-in-law, Maurice Phillips. "We will turn Paisley Park into a museum in Prince's memory," he said, according to The Sun, a U.K. tabloid newspaper. "It would be for the fans. He was all about the fans — this would remember his music, which is his legacy. Prince was always private but would have wanted his music remembered," Phillips added.

Prince's residence, which covers an area of 5,000 m2 near Minneapolis (Minnesota) will be accessible to the public starting the 6th of October, a week before the tribute concert that will bring together many artists in the home-city of the beloved singer. Tyka Nelson, his sister, said that Prince’s long time intention was to allow the public to visit Paisley Park, where the artist moved in 1987 and died on 21 April.

The museum will display thousands of personal items belonging to the artist, especially his scene outfits, tools, machines, etc. Just like the parties that Prince used to organize, the museum will only serve vegetarian food and non-alcoholic drinks. The normal ticket will cost 38.50 dollars, while for the VIP one visitors will have to pay 100 dollars.
