Overview

ABBA The Museum is a permanent interactive exhibition located on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm. The museum showcases the history of the Swedish pop group through original stage costumes, instruments, and gold records. Visitors can engage in hands-on experiences, such as virtual auditions, mixing consoles, and the opportunity to perform alongside holographic avatars of the band members. The site also serves as the home to the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. The collection emphasizes the personal items of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Much of the exhibition is designed to be tactile and participatory rather than a traditional static viewing experience.
