Prince’s Paisley Park Is Officially a Museum
By Evan Minsker.
When Prince’s Paisley Park estate was preparing to open to the public on October 6, the Chanhassen City Council voted to table a zoning request that would reclassify the late singer’s home and studios as a museum. Instead, it had a “temporary permit for certain days” to give tours. Today, the city council voted unanimously to rezone Paisley Park, Billboard reports. It is now officially a museum. Public tours begin again this Friday, and tickets are on sale for tours through December. Find more details here.
Prince’s remains are on display at Paisley Park, and recently, the urn—shaped like a miniature Paisley Park—was revealed. The estate was visited by Al Roker for a segment on “Today.” Prince apparently left “detailed guidelines” for converting the studios into a museum.
