Prince’s Paisley Park Estate To Open To The Public

Prince’s private estate and studio complex is set to open to the public six months after his death.

Paisley Park - the 65,000 sq ft complex in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen - will be turned into a museum and opened for public tours from October 6.

Visitors will have the opportunity to walk through the main floor of the sprawling property, which houses the late singer’s recording and mixing studios, in which he recorded and produced some of his biggest hits.

The tour will also include a look at the soundstage and concert hall where he hosted private events and rehearsed prior to his sell out tours, with thousands of items from his personal archives on display for view too.

This news has been announced by the trust company overseeing Prince’s estate, and the tours will be managed by the company that runs Elvis Presley’s Graceland home.

Prince collapsed and tragically passed away in April after a self-administered overdose of Fentanyl, according to recent reports.

“The new Paisley Park museum will offer fans a unique experience, an exhibition like no other, as Prince would have wanted it,” according to the official statement from Prince’s siblings. “Most important, the museum will display Prince’s genius, honour his legacy, and carry forward his strong sense of family and community.”

Tours of Paisley Park will last approx. 70 minutes, starting every 10 minutes, and each group is expected to include 25-30 guests.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 3pm ET, with standard tickets priced at $38.50 (£29), and VIP tours available for $100 (£75) via the official Paisley Park website.
