Prince's Paisley Park gets official green light to operate as museum
It's official. After receiving unanimous approval by the local city council late Monday, Prince's Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota is open for business.
The late artist's private estate and studio can now officially call itself a museum following the decision to open the property to public tours.
The opening had previously been delayed when a few city council members expressed concerns about traffic, parking and public safety with the arrival of potentially hundreds of thousands of tourists to the area.
The tour allows fans to go behind the scenes and into Prince's private studio. Exhibits include some of his concert outfits, awards, instruments, artwork, music and video recordings and motorcycles.
Doors open again Friday and tickets for the remainder of the year are now on sale.
General admission tickets are $38.50.
