Prince’s home will be open to the public for tours starting this fall.
As part of the legendary singer’s final wishes, the 57-year-old singer’s home will be turned into a museum for fans. Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, made the announcement Wednesday, USA Today reports. Nelson said the idea of having Paisley Park as a museum was always something Prince had hoped to accomplish. (RELATED: Prince Died From Opioid Overdose, Law Enforcement Reveals)

“Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on,” Nelson said. “Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime. Now fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince’s world for the first time, as we open the doors to this incredible place.” (RELATED: Report: Fetanyl Was Recovered At Prince’s Estate In Mislabeled Containers)

“The new Paisley Park museum will offer fans a unique experience, an exhibition like no other, as Prince would have wanted it,” a statement from the singer’s siblings read. “Most important, the museum will display Prince’s genius, honor his legacy, and carry forward his strong sense of family and community.”
Tickets for the museum go on sale on Friday at the officialpaiselypark.com website.
In accordance with Prince’s wishes, Paisley Park will be open to public tours starting October 6. This is wonderful. https://t.co/tshlgFTjSk
