The studios will also host live performances.

After learning last month that Prince’s legendary home of Paisley Park would be converted into a museum and opened to the public, the compound will begin its first showings October 6, Rolling Stone reports.

Visitors will be able to tour the entire first floor. It will feature over 12 rooms chronologically arranged to fit points in Prince’s career. A perfectionist even after his death, the museum is actually of Prince’s design. The singer left behind “detailed guidelines” of how his museum should be arranged, a source tells Rolling Stone, including the suggestions of “a wall-mounted timeline of his life through the mid-1990s and messages and texts sent to friends that specify how he wanted fans to walk through Paisley Park.” Prince’s recording studios and nightclub will also be open with plans to host live performances inside.

The artist’s famous vault and his personal living space will not be available to the public, but the music sealed within eventually will. Prince’s estate administrator and former lawyer L. Londell McMillan confirmed they would begin releasing material from the vault’s reported “thousands upon thousands” of tapes by next year, but are doing so patiently.

“We’re still doing inventory, and we’re still mourning, I know the world wants to commercialize it, but we’re still getting through the stuff,” he said. It was a sentiment also echoed by Prince’s longtime recording engineer Susan Rodgers: “We need to approach this with love and care and a high moral compass.”
