Prince's Museum opens just temporarily

The museum dedicated to the late artist Prince opens to the public on Thursday, but only temporarily because of a problem between the initiators and the authorities in the small town in Minnesota where the famous singer used to live in, DPA informs citing local media.

The local council in Chanhassen (Minneapolis) has not yet issued a definitive authorization for the museum in Paisley Park - which was the residence of Prince and also his personal recording studio- because of an important concern about the multitude of visitors who might come to the area and lack of parking spaces, Star Tribune writes. Bethany Tjornhorn, city council member, told for the newspaper that the city of 24,000 inhabitants needs a debate in which to decide whether the locals and the city to become ''a tourist town ''.

According to a business plan of th initiators, about 2,000 people are expected to come to Paisley Park every day. Without authorization, the museum will open temporarily on Thursday, October 6th, on October 8th and October 14th. The City Council will issue a final decision in December, shows the DPA.

Prince's residence which covers an area of 5,000 square meters, will be accessible to the public one week before the tribute concert, a celebration that will bring together many artists in this city of the beloved singer.

One of Prince's older sisters told NBC that her brother's energy and spirit is evident in the exhibit. "It's truly Prince. He thought all this through," Norrine Nelson said. "He had a vision and he finished it." Prince's younger sister, Tyka Nelson, said she hopes visitors will come away with a very personal experience. "I want them to maybe feel like maybe they saw Prince up close," she said. "Sometimes when you're a fan, you get to only to see them from a seat, but this way, you're almost face-to-face with him."
