Paisley Park

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

Paisley Park was once the personal estate and recording studio of Prince, the Minneapolis-born musician who skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s and ’90s with hits such as “Little Red Corvette” and “Purple Rain.” The talented artist was as renowned for his larger-than-life personality as he was for his wide vocal range and signature style. He worked ceaselessly on his music, produced his own albums and played most of the instruments in each song, creating tracks with influences of pop, funk and rock.

Following the artist’s death in 2016, Paisley Park was turned into a museum and concert venue, just as Prince intended. The 65,000-square-foot complex was built in 1987 and rests on nine acres in Chanhassen, a suburb outside of Minneapolis. Inside the museum, groups will find exhibits dedicated to Prince’s influence on both the music and fashion industry, including an exhibit featuring over 300 pairs of Prince’s custom shoes. They can view other Prince memorabilia, such as his outfits, cars and motorcycles, as well as photos and footage of Prince during performances and interviews throughout his life.
