While the questions about permanent status linger, Paisley Park opened its doors as a museum to visitors for the first time this morning.

Select media, like Today show's Al Roker, had access in days leading up to Paisley Park’s October 6th opening, and a short briefing was held at 8:45 a.m. this morning for media outlets to hear from Paisley Park Managing Partner Joel Weinshanker.

Wearing a long purple sweater emblazoned with “Paisley Park” on the left sleeve, Weinshanker spoke of the intentional planning, and dedication to working toward making a “Princely experience.”

Early reports from VIP tour-goers say they heard an unreleased Prince song, and if ordered in advance, got a poster, tote bag, or a sample of some of Prince's favorite food.
