The Minneapolis home of Prince will be opened to the public as a museum this October.

The singer, who died tragically of an accidental drug overdose earlier this year, lived and recorded at Paisley Park, a 65,000 square foot complex on the outskirts of Minneapolis.

The museum will be overseen by Bremer Trust, the same institution Prince trusted with his finances over the years. The complex will be overseen by Graceland Holdings, the same company that runs Elvis Presley’s Graceland.

"Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on," Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, said in the statement, according to the Associated Press. "Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime. Now, fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince's world for the first time as we open the doors to this incredible place.”

On the 70-minute museum tour, fans of the late singer will be able to see where recorded, produced and mixed his chart-topping hits and the soundstage where he rehearsed for tours and held exclusive, private concerts.

Tickets to tour the museum will go on sale Friday, August 26 at 3pm ET.
