Beautiful.

But they could´ve done this while he was alive.

Still nice of them though.

I'm assuming it would have required his approval since it includes pieces of his wardrobe and equipment?

Well, they could have asked him. He loved Minnesota and I doubt he would have had any problems with the Mall of America honoring Minnesota´s most famous son.

(Yes, I know, there´s also Bob Dylan but Prince was much more loyal to his home state).

Funny, that. I always thought Dylan was from the East Coast for some reason. While Prince is synonomous with Minnesota.

Awesome, but watching that video tells me I am not as ready as I had previously thought. Going to have to push that PP visit a bit. And maybe stop watching Prince memorabilia videos while listening to Nothing Compares 2 U, Berlin stylie.

I saw this yesterday in the MOA. It's free and you just walk in and look around. Everything is in glass cases. His cloud suit was on display, a few quitars, the blue jacket he wore in the superbowl performance oh and his diamond encrusted cane. Very cool.

Shut up....I don't like to talk...

Are many people visiting it? Considering it's free you'd think a lot of people would check it out.

The Current has published a review.

They also mention interesting info regarding the film "Purple Rain".

FYI.

Wow. Just wow. It looks beautiful. I wasn't expecting the flood of emotions tho. Thought maybe I was past that "stage". Want to run right over snd see it, but now I'm not sure I'm ready. I think because the pics are so large is where the overwhelming comes in. He looks amazing tho.

Thanks for starting this thread, rogifan.

The exhibit looks fantastic but, like a couple previous posters commented, watching the video makes me realize how not ready I am to visit this (or PP) yet. sad I thought I was doing better, Ive been able to watch live performances and listen to his music again lately without getting too very emotional (sometime the tears still well up unexpectedly though) but I don't know...seeing this stuff 'on exhibit' this way stirred up some deeper sadness I guess I haven't dealt with. sigh This is all so hard.

I was just telling myself...."no more tears!" when I found myself tearing up while looking at these pics. Just when you think you are done crying about him, then you see something like this, and the tears start all over again. It's still hard facing that he's no longer with us.

Looks pretty good.

Is that merchandise on the back shelves at around 1:00 minute of the video?

Hope so, makes sense.

Security off-hours is a concern.

Is GH running this operation too?
