Inside Prince's Paisley Park with Archives director Angie Marchese (VIDEO)

"Paisley is representative of everything Prince was and what Prince stood for and it is a very exciting time here," said Angie Marchese, Director of Archives at Paisley Park. 

Visitors to the museum can see the studios where he recorded his hits, his guitars, "Purple Rain" motorcycle, costumes, awards and other memorabilia. Also on display is an urn and a stylized replica of the building that contains Prince's ashes.

"Oh the collection is massive here, we've got over 6,000 pieces of wardrobe in the collection. Over 121 guitars, so we've got everything from the hohner guitar which, as you know, created so much great music, to handwritten lyrics in a spiral notebook from 1977 for his first album, 'For You.'

Costumes from 'Purple Rain,' the Oscar is on display, as well as costumes all through his last tour.
So it kind of spans the gamut, there's wardrobe, there's instruments, there's handwritten lyrics," Marchese said.

Prince died at Paisley Park in April of an accidental painkiller overdose.

The museum, managed by the same company that runs Elvis Presley's Graceland, is expected to draw 600,000 people a year. 

The 70-minute tour costs $38.50 (USD) while the 100-minute VIP tour costs $100. 

There's also additional service fees per ticket.
