Prince's Paisley Park estate is all set to be turned into a permanent museum. The late singer's Minnesota home and recording studio was opened to the public for a brief period last month and now the Chanhassen City Council has unanimously allowed the exhibit to continue. The home has become a tourist attraction of sorts.

A website quoted a city resident saying, "A local restaurant has seen a 36 per cent increase in business during a two-hour period last weekend."
Since Paisley Park's doors were thrown open on October 6, almost six months after the hitmaker died due to accidental overdose at his erstwhile home, over 12,000 people have already toured Studio A, the Purple Rain Room, the NPG Music Club and other parts of the estate.
Paisley Park is expected to be open to tourists from Thursdays through Sundays. The singer's fans will even get to see the elaborate urn (designed by Prince's sister Tyka and nephew President Nelson) holding his ashes, his purple Yamaha piano and white ornamental doves.
