Dancing queens and kings are getting ready to pack their bags and jet off to Stockholm! In 2008 an interactive museum dedicated to legendary Swedish pop group, ABBA will open, allowing fanatics to see the clothing, learn the history, music and instruments and much more that captures the group’s heyday in the 70s and 80s. Surely, your feet must be moving wild with excitement!
Even though the band hasn’t recorded an album since their breakup in 1982, ABBA still remains one of the most successful bands in history who continue to sell nearly three million records each year. They’ve sold 370 million albums worldwide.
It took two years for the couple behind the project, Ulf Westman and his wife, Ewa Wigenheim-Westman to convince the band members that it was a good idea to open an ABBA museum, who came up with the idea after visiting the Beatles museum in Liverpool. Though ABBA will donate materials for exhibits but they will have no further involvement in the project.
A location is still to be sought out by museum organizers, but they are sure that when the doors open both the museum and Stockholm’s already ABBA popular city streets should see an impressive number of visitors. No one should doubt it either.
