Prince's shoes on display at Paisley Park, Prince's home and studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, on June 30, 2021. To the uninformed eye Paisley Park, Prince's home and studio in suburban Minnesota, could be anything – an abandoned mall, a government compound, a utilitarian office building. It's only the 11-foot (3.35-meter) purple love symbol statue, the unpronounceable glyph the artist famously went by during a dispute with his label, that tips the 65,000-square foot (6039-square meter) complex off as belonging to the artist beloved as Prince. Situated just off the highway leading southwest out of the Twin Cities in the municipality of Chanhassen, Paisley Park served as the virtuoso international pop star's creative and literal home, a sanctum where he spent nearly three decades before he collapsed in an elevator there, dying soon after of an accidental painkiller overdose.
