As Prince once sang, "All the Critics Love You in New York." The streets of NYC are looking more vibrant than ever in celebration of the release of Prince and @TheRevolution: Live. See a poster? Take a photo and hashtag it #princeandtherevolutionlive

Today is Prince's birthday! For our Item of the Day we are sharing Prince's personal travel bible. This is a 1984 printing of the New World Translation, given to Prince by a Jehovah's Witness when he was in the United Kingdom attending a service. It was used between 2001-2016.

You can get a sense of #Prince and his band's vocal care with this list of refreshments that includes herbal tea with honey, and menthol cough drops.
The nacho chips maybe not so much ... 😉

This is a list of refreshments requested by Prince and his band before a show at First Ave. in 1986.
From the First Ave. Manuscript Collection held by MNHS. This is just one small example of the treasures that can be found in manuscript collections!
