ABBA The Museum opens in Stockholm

If you happen to be in Stockholm, a visit to the just-opened ABBA The Museum - a permanent interactive exhibition of the famous foursome - is a must on your itinerary, writes Trish Whelan.

The museum gives visitors the opportunity to interact and get close to the 1970's band by experiencing what it's like to be the fifth member of ABBA through dancing on stage with other members, checking out how their famous costumes suit you or paying a visit to the Polar Studio.

You can follow the audio-guide which features all four as each of them tells their own personal story of life in the band. You can also browse through all things ABBA such as albums, memorabilia and gold records. Benny's piano is hooked up to a piano in his home. Everytime he takes a seat and plays the piano in his home, visitors can listen and enjoy.
Opening hours are from 10am to 8pm during the high season.
