Born in Minneapolis to humble beginnings, Prince Rogers Nelson embodied the journey from child prodigy to international superstar. Prince's musical prowess, iconic style, and zest for life secured this legacy as a cultural icon. With a career spanning over four decades, Prince's unparalleled talents, innovation, leadership, and defiance changed the business of entertainment in ways that will be observed for years to come. Paisley Park is more than a place—it's a love story that chronicles Prince's musical journey, his style evolution, diligence, free-spirited creativity, and culture, that now serves as the cornerstone of his legacy.
