Master Bedroom
Much of the interior has not been updated since Jackson bought the house in the 1980s. Since he left, some portions have fallen into disrepair.

Décor
Very little of Jackson's presence remains at Neverland, save perhaps for pieces like this one. In anticipation of the media's attention, the house staff restored 40 of the statues of children at play that once adorned the grounds.
