I went to Minnesota at the end of May to do a tour of Paisley Park. It was an amazing tour (I did the VIP option). Prince fans, TAKE THE PILGRIMAGE TO PAISLEY PARK. They don't allow phones or cameras inside, so I don't have much to show for it. But wow was it awesome. You get to see most of the estate except for Prince's personal living quarters. He had a kitchen that was decorated like a full diner (where he liked to make pancakes, a la the Charlie Murphy story), multiple music studios, a sound stage where movies (including Grumpy Old Men) were shot, a basketball court, a night club, more purple furniture than you've ever seen, and tons of other rooms that have been cultivated into a very solid museum. My tour guide was a local Prince fan and was outstanding. All the staff were super nice. It was one of the best tourist experiences I've had in a very long time.
Since I don't have pictures to show from inside, enjoy this giant Prince mural that is a few blocks away on the wall of a movie theater:
