Love Letters to Minneapolis 💜

For everyone who's visited Prince's hometown and experienced the warmth of that community - now is the time to send that love back.

Minneapolis has welcomed so many of us. The kindness of strangers. The Prince stories shared on street corners. The friends we made at First Ave, at Paisley Park, dancing through the grief, honoring Prince together.

I'm calling on the Prince community to share your Minneapolis stories, photos, art and memories with The People's Museum for Prince so we can help transmit these messages of love. Let's show our Minneapolis friends they're not alone.

New blog post: "A Love So Bright Inside You It Glows: Love Letters to Minneapolis"
