Prince: A Portrait of the Artist in Memories & Memorabilia explores the life of Prince Rogers Nelson, a musical phenomenon who constantly reinvented himself throughout his long and colourful career, changing his style and even his name to keep his artistic output fresh and funky. Eccentric and flamboyant with an impressive vocal range, Prince influenced many other musicians with his trademark mix of funk, rock, and R&B. In addition to his remarkable musical output, Prince helped other performers on their path to stardom, wrote songs for a variety of artists, and even directed (and starred in) his own movies. He produced over 35 albums, including ten platinum albums, in a career that spanned five decades, with 80 million records sold worldwide.

Fans around the world mourned his untimely death in 2016.
