From the article, it sounded like they did NOT want to display everything all at once, but instead cycle stuff in/out (which, from a "longevity" issue, might help everything last longer).

To me, it's sad that the day will come when people will have to "learn" about Prince -- instead of all of us who are still living NOW and to us everything is still fresh.

Right now, there are no more than 30 outfits on display. Some are only tops with no pants. There are 9 guitars on display right now. The orange clould was in the SOTT room, but they swapped it out for the acoustic guitar with the heart shaped mirror, since the SOTT one was peach. I like the idea of them swapping things out. It will keep people coming back.

I'd agree. There are too many variables with a smaller stand-alone building like that. And in reality, it could be the visit check-in center. The tunnel (if there is one), or an enclosed breezeway would lead to an entrance at Paisley. However, you're not entering the front of the building, a whole new experience could be had by repurposing the floor plan of both. You could also build more parking on that west side to accommodate tour visitors, and keep Paisley's regular parking for business purposes. If the Egg is all one level with high ceilings, there's a lot of opportunity to project things on the ceiling, hang stuff up that might not be as light sensitive but still needs care (props from movies, etc).

All that won't happen, but I would hope that at some point down the line, they use it for something. Even just a gift shop would be ideal. They'd still have to bring it up to code, but there are a lot of things being changed anyway.

Wasn't the original idea to use The Egg as a restaurant?

I believe the estate has plans to complete it (which I guess would involve cladding it and completeing the inside) and use it for something?
