Graceland to Finance Prince's Paisley Park Museum Opening October, 2016




Bremer Trust, which is administering Prince’s contested estate has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Graceland Holdings, LLC, for the "development, management, and oversight of all aspects of the museum at Paisley Park," according to the proposal.

Graceland Holdings, which manages Elvis Presley’s home, Graceland, will also provide initial financing for the museum.

THE MUSEUM EXPECTS UP TO 2,000 DAILY VISITORS!

Although the plan to convert the estate into a museum has not been officially approved, tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, August 26th, at 3PM ET, through the Paisley Park website.

The proposal states regular tickets will be sold for $38.50, and VIP tickets for $100. (All the proposal says about the VIP experience is that tours will be in "smaller groups" than the 25 to 30 people planned for regular tours.)

Prince’s legendary home and recording studio complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota, will likely open to public tours beginning in October, according to a report from Minnesota TV station KARE 11.

"Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on," Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson said.

Paisley Park, built in 1987 for $10 million, spans 65,000 square feet on nine acres of land, according to the Star Tribune

A proposal submitted to the city of Chanhassen states 70-minute tours will cover the "recording and mixing studios, video editing rooms, rehearsal rooms, Prince’s private NPG Music Club, and the soundstage and performance hall," as well as displays of his belongings and memorabilia, including clothes, awards, artwork, his tour bus, and motorcycles. 

The museum also tentatively plans to offer vegetarian food, in honor of Prince’s strict vegetarian diet. 

The musician also had an apartment in the complex, but it is not clear if that space will be part of the tour. Paisley Park’s recording studios will continue to be used for special sessions, and concerts will likely be held as well.
