ABBA The Museum

Wow. Very modern, interesting and interactive (singing & dancing) exhibition. Succeeded my expectations. Definitely worth a visit. Even if you are not the biggest ABBA fan.

Loved the experience. I get why they say, walk in, dance out. We bought tickets in advance for a Sunday in September, but there wasn’t a queue to get in. The Abba Voyage exhibit was equally entertaining as was the rest of the museum.

Exceeded expectations. This is a tourist attraction and priced as such, yet there are interactive exhibits to help you have fun and enjoyment. Suggest getting there when they open to fully enjoy without the crowds. Immerse yourself and guarantee it won't feel like a waste of money. Sing and dance.

Absolutely Fantastic. My husband and I visited the museum on Sunday 14th October 2024. We already pre-booked our tickets online for 10am when they open. You can just turn up and buy a ticket, you don't have to pre-book, although bear in mind there are 2 queue lines, one for pre-booked tickets and one for purchasing tickets and they do let the pre-booked ticket line go in first and the longer this gets, the longer you will have to wait, so definitely worth booking online. There are lockers to store your bags and coats. The lockers are in what they call Abba ''backstage'' which was really impressive. Also, the women's bathroom was top to bottom in baby pink colour with stage lights around the mirrors and stars on the doors. Everything was kitted out for a stage set up before you even enter the museum. It was a truly wonderful experience.

The ABBA Museum looks pretty fancy place to be, and it has good songs from the artists, as it shows history about the songs and about the people. It is a little crowded but it depends what time it would be but that is because it is popular place to visit. It has been great to look around here, which is always recommended to visit if you are need to know about the ABBA.

What a fun museum/experience! You really do leave singing and wanting to dance. Very well done. Full of information about each band member as well as the band together. The costumes displayed were just amazing to see up close.

1. a lot of interesting exhibits combined with interactive games, movies and stories about Abba; 2. it's better to book tickets online as they might be sold out or you will have to wait for your slot; 3. really enjoyed the visit - highly recommend; 4. ticket price is 299 sek.

Being an Aussie living in the 70s, you couldn't avoid ABBAMANIA, so when in Stockholm, I couldn't avoid visiting the ABBA Museum. It is a wonderful time capsule of that ABBA we saw from an ABBAMANIA perspective and what we didn't see that went on in the background. A glimpse, if you like, into the human side of the juggernaut. There are many highlights, perhaps the one walking from backstage to the stage with the 'we want ABBA' chant was a great touch from an Aussie perspective. The hits play as you walk around, but try to get an early session to avoid the crowds.

You can't visit Stockholm without stopping by the ABBA Museum--it would be a disservice! The museum is incredibly interactive, keeping fans singing from the moment they arrive until long after they leave. You'll start with their latest project, ABBA Voyage, and then end following their solo careers over the years. I loved seeing the costumes they wore throughout the years and the fan memorabilia on display, including items from a dedicated gentleman who attended all their North American tours and donated his most prized possession to the museum. Unfortunately, the merchandise selection was a bit underwhelming compared to what it could have been, especially with the resurgence of the song, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" thanks to Gen-Z.

A place dedicated to Abba the Swedish iconic band everyone loves. This was so much fun and full of nostalgic music and pictures and videos and merchandise. Great place to learn about their history form start to end. They highlight each band members journey and provide great insight to things you may not have known. Great way to spend an afternoon . I suggest buying tickets online to not have to wait in line and they are pretty strict about not hopping into an earlier time slot.Only line up when your time is scheduled. Fun time here and the gift shop is cool too!

Aloha, when in Stockholm visiting the most popular musical groups' museum out of Sweden is likely on the list of things to do when on a cruise ship. Wasn't expecting much, yet was pleasantly happy we visited the ABBA museum. It was fun and interactive. Peeps got up on stage and performed with the holographic group and you could take pics in their various props. Enjoyed walking through the bright performance outfits they wore. Only bummer was the limited swag in the store, no sizes bummer they need to restock. Now to get Dancing Queen out of my head, lol. A hui hou!

Love ABBA, so I had to visit the museum. Everything is pretty and there's a lot of interactive experiences to be had. Don't forget to visit the gift shop, they have a lot of cool things.

Although most of my friends LOVE this place, I found it sub-par. The QR code readers at the entrance are a pain. Most of the time they do not read correctly. Often the staff has to assist. Then they have to plug in something external or just ask the guest to make their screen brighter. Too much wasted time. Then there are the lockers. You have to stow your bags. Don't ask me why; there is nothing to steal, as everything is behind glass. They have an incredibly odd and impractical shape. The movies have no place to sit. There are no instructions about when to enter the theaters, so folks wait outside, despite being able to go in any time. A few people stand against the wall, others have to sit on the floor in order not to block the view for others. Overall, the place is very poorly designed. Would I go again for the first time? Yes. Would I go again for a second time? Absolutely not. Been there, done that!

Definitely a lot more interesting and fun than I anticipated. There are costumes and holograms , karaoke and tons of memorabilia. There are also some stuff from the Mama Mia set to experience.

Prepare yourself for sensory overload! The music, the personalities, the fame, love and separation, the interviews and film footage that are truly insightful. It is probably impossible to explore all of it in one visit. You could get lost in the albums, costumes, awards and dizzying mania of ABBA's worldwide fame. Definitely worth a visit. Now Stockholm, how about a Roxette Museum? Per and Marie certainly made their mark as well.

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme more Abba. I was a bit reluctant to visit due to negative reviews however It was FAB and a happy place listening to all their music. It was really well put together and lots of interactive exhibits. This is a Must See while visiting Stockholm.

Are you really going to go to Sweden and not go to the ABBA Museum?? It is a must if you visit Stockholm! All 4 ABBA members are from Sweden and had their big break here. This has to be one of the best museums I have been too! It was so interactive and there were so many things to learn about, read, and see. We spent a total of 2.5 hours here but could definitely spend more time if we wanted to. The first exhibit is all about the Mamma Mia movies (of course), then when you head downstairs, you are taken through a journey of everything ABBA. From their individual begins to their break-up. You have to go if you are a big ABBA fan! It's located near all the other museums too, so definitely make a whole day trip to the island to check out all of the museums.

The only reason this museum is getting a star off is because the day I visited there was a flood and we only got to see half the museum! They graciously knocked the price in half, and we could still do the audio tour (but not see what they were talking about). Even with half a tour, it was still amazing and there were a lot of fun things to buy in the gift store.

WARNING - DIFFICULT TO FIND! We walked around for an hour looking for this 'museum.' We had a map AND our GPS. It showed us exactly where this was supposed to be but there was **ZERO** signage to lead you to it. We walked all over the area where it was supposed to be but literally couldn't see it. It's located between two much larger amusement parks -- one with roller coasters and another that's a time capsule (travel back in time, open air museum), on a street with 4-6 other museums but is very small, like a shop storefront. Add to that that it's nestled in between other tourists shops... it makes it difficult to spot. When we finally got to the actual front, it was way too late to get tickets as they were sold out for about 2 hours after that. We walked around the store regardless hoping to buy our mom a t-shirt. Nothing but XXL left in stock. It was really a wasted afternoon. You're better off going to the Vasa Museum. They need to do a much better job of guiding people to the front of the museum. There was nothing to help us get there.

Absolute must-do if you're a fan! This interactive museum was such a joy. From singing booths to dance tutorials, exhibitions to interactive stations, they have it all. So many stations and lots of new fun facts about one of my favorite groups. Get your ticket ahead of time to skip the line! It's in the museum area, so it is easily reachable by the main tram line (tickets purchasable by app, kiosk, or onboard).

The content of the museum is quite cool. Even as a casual ABBA enjoyer, I found the displays interesting. I recommend pre-booking a ticket to skip the queue. The reason the museum loses a star is due to the price of the ticket for the experience. I paid nearly 25 USD for a student ticket and was through the museum in about an hour and a half. Additionally, the museum was extremely crowded. The regular intervals of film are interesting to watch, but disrupt the normal traffic flow, making it so that large groups of people are attempting to view the same exhibits at the same time. All things considered, I don't regret going to ABBA the Museum, but I probably wouldn't come again.

Growing up I certainly enjoyed their music but even if you aren't a big fan or for that matter not a fan at all the ABBA Museum is an absolute MUST see while in Stockholm. There are too many highlights to this Museum so I'll just mention a few. One of the first things you'll see as you enter is a small area with a red phone, if that phone rings it'll be one of the four members of ABBA calling, we waited about 3 minutes, no such luck for us. There are many authentic concert worn costumes to see but our 2 favorite parts of the Museum were the stage where you can sing & dance along with Holograms of the band to 2 songs ( Dancing Queen & Mama Mia ) & the "Arrival The Experience " which is a virtual helicopter ride over the Stockholm Archipelago where the band wrote most, if not all of their songs. The price of admission is about 220 SEK ( about $ 20 USD ) And when you're ready to leave the Museum there is a large souvenir shop as well as a Cafe to get something to eat & drink. Another great thing about the Museum is its conveniently located, about a 3 minute walk to The Viking Museum & about a 6 minute walk to The Vasa Museum. Overall the ABBA Museum is one the best, if not the best Museum we've ever been to.

First, I want to point out that I made it to their Instagram story the day I was there. It was awesome. Let me tell you why this place was cool to me. First and foremost, it has been a dream of mine to visit Sweden and to see the ABBA museum and learn the history of ABBA in Sweden. I was named after Agnetha Faltskog so yes my real name is Agnetha. It is Swedish but I am not white lol. Either way, it's a great conversation starter so I like it sometimes. This place got all the knowledge regarding ABBA including the movie Mama Mia. They even got a room where you can pretend like you're one of the band mates and sing with them and dance lol. Pretty funny actually. The tour is pricey so if you're not an ABBA fan, I recommend to skip it. One thing that I wish they can change is that they should keep playing the songs in every room. I expected the songs to be played on the overhead speakers the whole time but it wasn't. I guess it's to make sure the songs don't drive the workers crazy lol. We took pics at the little mural where you can put your face on it outside. Obviously I put my face with Agnetha's wall!

For those who was alive in the 1970s, ABBA was everywhere. Expertly designed tour of how the band was formed and the impact they had on popular culture. Very insightful and entertaining walk though history.

My husband and I showed up at the ABBA Museum after we arrived in Stockholm and got checked into our Air B&B. Our plan was to go here before the Vasa Museum. The ABBA museum is not on the SL card so we would have to pay for this museum. There is a discount for students so bring your ID if you have one. The ABBA museum is very interactive and you will need to keep your ticket handy. You can play guitar hero, paint a virtual fence (like in Mamma Mia), record yourself singing ABBA songs, and more. There are tons of displays and facts about ABBA throughout the museum. After you are done you can check out the gift shop for your ABBA needs like tshirts, glasses, chocolates, key chains and more.

From the minute I found out that I would be in Stockholm and could visit the ABBA museum....my heart smiled! The website says "walk in....dance out", challenge accepted! Open on Christmas day.....thank you for the music! Situated on the river....not a bad stroll, even at winter time. Nice big building full of ABBA memorabilia and interactive fun! As soon as you enter (walk in).....the music is playing....and you can't help but dance....well I couldn't help but dance! They have outfits on display, records, newspaper articles, guitars, background info of the band, pieces from recording studio....and then....keep you ticket handy because you will need it to "interact" with the band. I was able to "record" a song with them, dance and sing on stage with them, and take pictures with them.....as if I was the superstar. As you weave in and out of all the exhibits, you exit out via the gift shop. So of course I had to get me a few things. I had more fun than I could have ever imagined as they really exceeded my expectations. This is a great fun must do even if your not an avid ABBA fan like me. And yes.....I danced out! "So long, see you honey  So long, so long, so long"

It's hard to imagine that a band could have so much influence in the global music scene 35 years after they broke up. Their music is timeless. The experience in ABBA, The Museum, is priceless. Their best-selling single "Fernando" sold over 10 million copies and propelled them into the league of legendary bands such as The Beatles. (As a reference point, "Hey Jude" sold about 8 million copies and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" sold 12 million.) Even more amazing is that the life span of the band was only about 8 years - from the time they won the Eurovision Contest in 1974 to the time they disbanded in 1982. In fact, some of their most memorable music was from the later stages of their career, when the divorces of the couples foreshadowed the breakup of the band. Their music and lyrics turned darker. Their music began to carry a subtle tone of sadness and hopelessness, which was a great contrast to the upbeat and energetic vibes of their earlier songs. "I don't want to talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history... The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear..." (The Winner Takes It All) Going back to the museum itself, some highlights of the exhibits include: -- Video of their life-changing "Waterloo" performance from the 1974 Eurovision Contest in its entirety. -- Plenty of pictures of the four members from their childhood through the different stages of the band. -- Real size wax sculpture of the band. -- Many videos are played in different areas of the museum, some of them reflecting the various milestones of their careers. Their famous and very well-liked "The Last Video" (puppet show) was played at a special screen continuously. -- A small theatre showing "Abba, The Movie". -- Re-creation of many of their work spaces, including parts of their home, their recording studio, and dressing rooms. -- Plenty of their original instruments and equipment. -- Several karaoke booths where you can sing along with Abba and have your performance rated and recorded. -- Lots of original ABBA items were on display in a special area that included actual costumes worn, numerous of the awards won, original manuscripts, etc. -- And many, many more memorabilia, too countless to mention. Dear ABBA, Thank You for the music, the songs I'm singing. Thanks for all the joy they're bringing. Hasta Mañana 'till we meet again...

Had a super fun time visiting the ABBA Museum. There is so much to do and see here. Definitely recommend checking out this museum especially if you are an ABBA fan. Fun to see how they started to where they are today.

Very, very informative museum on anything and everything regarding ABBA. Tastefully designed with tons of memorabilia, including outfits from past performances worn by the artists, notes on their music sheets, and other awards. I'm not an ABBA fanatic like others, but I enjoyed this museum. I wouldn't necessarily go back, but it was still really interesting. My most favorite parts were the karaoke area where you could get up on stage and sing along the hologram versions of the band members and the private rooms where you could dance to their music and make a goofy music video. Another enjoyable part was going into those rooms with the big screen that would show old videos and interviews. It made me really nostalgic and I suddenly missed listening to all their amazing hits. Needless to say, I was jamming to ABBA music the week following my trip back to Los Angeles.

The ABBA Museum looks pretty amazing. it shows a lot of their background history including the albums.

THE absolute best museum I've been to & definitely a highlight of our visit to Stockholm Interactive as all get out - not only is the audioguide included in the admission price & there are lots of stories to hear & background to learn - but there are also songs to record, videos to make & other interactive activities Access it through your admission ticket & they keep it for 30 days so you can download it & have forever memories.... did I mention they actually promote the fact you should download your experience? There's good blackmail material for all the worst karaoke ( like me! ) Everything is in Swedish and English. SUPER TROUPER FUN to be had - VOULEZ VOUS??

A great interactive museum that is perfect for the hard core ABBA fan in your life! This museum traces the history of ABBA, all of its members and even touches on many of their side projects. Many of the exhibits are interactive and I love that the ones that record you don't charge you more to download the audio or video! Everything is explained well and the exhibits are laid out very thoughtfully. You are welcome to take as many photos as you would like and at the end, the gift shop has anything you could imagine that is ABBA related. Air conditioning throughout is very cold which is perfect on the hot day we visited. The only real negative is it is geared to the hard core ABBA fan. The details on the exhibits seem a bit much when they sometimes don't explain the basics. Overall it was fun to see and a good stop on your visit to Stockholm.

This place is awesome! I loved it. It was like a trip through my childhood. I grew up with my parents listening to ABBA...well, at least my mom. It's a little pricey, but worth it. The museum walks you through the band's formation, the tours they took and albums the produced, all the way to their break up. They've got tons of original ABBA stuff on display. It's a great tour and a little bit of a break from the "normal" Stockholm history stuff.

Loved it. Actually my friend loved it. My friend had a great time singing and dancing. Everyone else was doing it too. My friend took a lot of pictures of all the albums, pictures and costumes. My friend then bought the album on iTunes immediately after going to the museum and played it all day in the hotel.

It was very fun! The rooms and costumes were very cool! I suggest you take a family photo with the cutouts in the front. The kids and parents loved it!

As usual, Jamie W. was responsible for the kitschiest moment of our brief Scandinavian vacation. When we went to Tokyo in December, it was the bizarre, anime-come-to-life antics of Robot Restaurant (review: http://bit.ly/1SUz7sv). And now that we were in Stockholm, he decided ABBA The Museum was a must-stop for us. My knowledge of ABBA was fleeting. I remember liking "Waterloo" in high school but then their syncopated pop tunes started to get on my nerves until they resurfaced in "Mamma Mia! The Movie". Much like Van McCoy-era disco, ABBA's percolating toe-tappers started to grow on me again. The museum is not in the central city area but on the more bucolic island of Djurgården near the Gröna Lund theme park. It's midway between Skansen and Vasamuseet, two of Stockholm's biggest tourist attractions, which makes it easy to get to via metro or taxicab. The exhibits are all on one subterranean floor and follow the chronology of the group starting with a short film montage shown on multiple screens in a darkened circular room. From there, you can take the handheld audio tour and listen to group members explain the genesis of the group through various artifacts on display from recording studios to costumed mannequins. Clearly the most entertaining aspects of this museum are the karaoke booths, the video recreations and the recording studio where you can become the fifth ABBA member. Of course I did it all and didn't have to wait in queues as April is Sweden's shoulder season with the museum receiving a paucity of visitors during the cold weather. So go to ABBA The Musuem to find your inner Agnetha (photo: http://bit.ly/1pWksm8)...or Benny depending on your proclivities. There's also the Swedish Music Hall of Fame to visit in the adjacent space. The gift shop is fairly shameless with the Honey Honey honey a particular temptation (photo: http://bit.ly/1pWksma).

The queue to buy tickets might be a little long - so definitely try and buy online or bundle with the Red Bus Hop on Hop Off busses which offers a discount as well as stops right in front of the museum. Overall, the museum is smaller that what o was expecting, but there was a lot of info and cool memorabilia to admire. Tons of instagramable moments to have fun with as well. The coolest thing was the karaoke with 3D simulation. There's a cafe attached along with an ABBA themed hotel for the true junkie.

Well, when in Sweden.....you have to check out the museum of the local band ABBA. I liked listening to their music growing up ( as well as Ace OF Base) but I didn't know how much of a big deal of a band they were until I toured their museum. Not only is it informative but there are some fun interactive sections that I enjoyed. My favorite parts were the karaoke recoding booth to sing some of ABBA's best hits and the hologram stage where you can perform with the band. I was pleasantly surprised how much fun I had visiting this museum - which I highly recommend seeing.

OK OK no I am not a huge ABBA fan but my parents are and we're in Stockholm so why not. I looked at it more as a pop culture history tour. I pre-booked tix online (which is cheaper than buying them there) on my iPhone for 940 SEK ($112.61). We are 4 adults and it came with audio guides. We took an Uber for just under $20, took us about 15-20 minutes, we stayed by the Erickson Globe. We ran through the whole tour in a little over 2 hours, they can keep you busy, especially when your with ABBA fans like my old school parents. There's an autobiography on each of the band members including a shit ton of memorabilia and visuals. There's even a red phone reserved exclusively for when the real band members want to call thier museum and talk to a fan. Sad to say no one called while we were there. There's interactive stuff. Want to make your own music video or record your voice over ABBA tracks, you can do that and then some. Machine even prints out a receipt with a web link in case you nailed the Dancing Queen chorus and want to hear or see yourself do it! As you leave of course there is a gift shop in case you want to buy a t-shirt or other fan stuff. We ate at their Cafe, it was reasonable and thier burger was pretty damn good, fries with mayo was just OK. Overall the history was cool, and my parents had a blast. They both loved it, thier 70's kids . If your part of that generation then I guess you should definitely check it out while your in Stockholm. My only complaint is $112 is kinda pricey, a little under $30 a head. However Scandinavia in general is fairly expensive. It's not something I'd do again, once was enough for me.

So. Much. Fun!!! I'm a huge fan so it was really cool to check out this museum. My favorite part was the hologram karaoke at the end of the tour where all the members of the abba band dance to you singing their songs. Lots of fun souvenirs a bit overpriced but hey this is the real abba museum. I've learned a lot about them just from the audio-tour that aren't published in books about abba. Afterwards there is a great cafe where you can sit down and enjoy a glass of delicious beer and share your experiences.

I stopped by here while visiting other attractions in the area. I did not pay to go in the museum but visited the gift shop and the bar attached. The gift shop has everything an ABBA fan could want. The prices are on par for Stockholm and a popular tourist stop. The bathrooms are easily accessible from the patio. The bar patio is a nice place to stop for drink and comfort room stop if visiting the different museums along Djurgårdsvägen. Out front is one those poster boards where you can insert face to take a picture of ABBA. If your a big ABBA fan, it is a must place to visit.

This was a great museum, i had a lot of fun, the tours are great(audio tours), there are lots of languages you could choose. a lot off the museum was interactive and fun. personally, i loved it!

I went to the ABBA museum with my family today and it was fun! We went on a Tuesday and the line to get tickets was short. The ticket saves all the things you do within the museum so make sure not to lose it! They accept discover/diner's club international which as no foreign transaction fees. Make sure to bring a credit card because they don't accept cash.There are lockers if you need to store anything while you're walking around. We were welcomed by a two minute video about ABBA which was cool. The exhibit is interactive and there are places where you can scan your ticket and record yourself singing ABBA, dancing in ABBA music videos, and there's even a stage with holograms of ABBA that you can sing and dance with. I'm not the biggest ABBA fan but I still enjoyed this exhibit. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Sweden!

'Ello chaps! ABBA is alive in this modern, interactive museum dedicated to pop band ABBA. It is located in the Djurgarden section of Stockholm, Sweden. Lots of music, memorabilia, records, authentic outfits are all on display. Visitors should know that Abba Museum is NOT included in the Stockholm Pass attractions program, so entry is an additional cost. The line was quite lengthy to get in as well. The museum is several stories and quite "cozy". True Abba fans could probably spend 90 minutes inside, while others may breeze through quicker. There are interactive dance floors and karaoke booths where you can take a shot at joining ABBA on stage for a performance. There is an adjoining restaurant and bar. Truth be told, this is a museum for the true ABBA fans.

This is a review for the restaurant inside not the museum or the cafe. The museum is awesome, naturalich! 1) You get 10-15% off food and drinks if you have a ticket. I neglected to use this! Don't be like me, get your discount! 2) You could just go to the restaurant without going to the museum. Not advised. But maybe if you've been walking all day and want to sit down to eat, maybe. 3) The service was quick. So quick in fact I'm sure al the food is premade. It wasn't terrible, just eerily too quick. 4) I would advise getting a group of friends to go to ABBA museum, stopping by bar for a quick drink, then being silly in the interactive museum. 5) Really nice decor and space, it would be great event space for a party or reception.

This was the happiest museum I have ever been to! How could you listen to ABBA music and not get happy and want to dance?? Seriously though, the Abba portion of the Pop House as well as the Pop House were fantastic. They are located in an area of Stockholm with a lot of other museums. The Pop House/Abba Museums will take 1-2 hours to get through and fully enjoy. You will learn about the history of Swedish pop and the Eurovision contest and then of course Abba in all of its glorious years. There are mannequins showcasing the fabulous attire of the glorious era, videos of the Eurovision contest and Abba performances, interactive experiences such as a karaoke stage with dance instructions, and more. This place was a real treat if you love pop music or Abba. Luckily for me, I love both.

If you like ABBA music, then you'll love this museum. It goes they how they started and the history and evolvement of their music. There's interactive parts where you can sing karaoke style and the computer will give you a score of how well you did, and a "live , on stage" performance audition where it'll replay on video for you to watch. A must see for ABBA fans

Mama Mia how could I be in Sweden and not check out the Abba museum!!! It does cost a bit of Money, Money, Money to get in -- 250 Kronos per person to be exact. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do love me some Abba -- so it was money well spent. Ok that's all the puny song titles I'm willing to put into one review. It's located on the island with all the museums on it in Sweden. It was funny to follow the signs from the Vasa (more on that in another review) past the National Museum and a few other high art museums to land at the Abba museum. The museum is inside a funky hotel. And it starts with the gift shop just in case you need a disco ball key chain for the ride. Costumes, interactive activities and just about everything you ever wanted to know about ABBA is here. It's a good time, I highly recommend it! It's a nice break from all the historical places you'll see while touring the town.

Could this be the happiest museum in the world? After I finally tore myself away following three deliriously joyful hours and three complete circuits of the place, with a mile-wide smile on my face and a spring in my step, I'd suggest that it might just well be. A deep and abiding childhood love of ABBA which sustained itself when they weren't cool and was re-energised by the 90's revival and the subsequent Mamma Mia mania meant that there was absolutely no way that I was going to pass through Stockholm without wallowing in nostalgia - a wet weather day made it all the more excellent a choice too. Right from the darkened entrance room, where an excellent five minute clip of some of their best moments on film plays on a loop at a thunderous volume, the tone of deep aural joy was set and it never let up. I stayed in that first room for at least three showings on my first go-round and it was the last part of the experience before I finally left too! Once into the main museum area itself, you are taken on a journey that tells the background story of the four band members, how they came to meet and become a band as well as two married couples and their emergence onto the world stage via the Eurovision song competition. The little details of their success on that night, making up for a stumble in the previous year were a delight to read, especially when it came to the presentation of the award, when Bjorn and Benny were prevented by an officious steward from actually going on stage to collect it. The museum is astoundingly well presented, with lots of looped video clips telling the story of ABBA at all levels, including various band members, studio technicians, and even the manager's PA, along with a recreation of the recording studio and the small island hut where most of the songs were written. There's an opportunity to "play along" with the band in a couple of places - on stage alongside green screen versions, and in a recording booth looking into the studio area - but my voice and dance moves were not good enough to be recorded in this way! As well as all that, there is a huge area set aside for costumes, gold discs, original albums and singles to wallow in - recognising the versions that you bought as a kid was a fun thing to do. Finally, there is a full-on disco room with lights and a pounding looped soundtrack of the top hits to dance along to and a cinema room devoted to a non stop presentation of ABBA The Movie. The one small criticism I might have is that the story of the band stops rather too soon - once they've "made it", there is less to be said about the stresses and strains of international fame and the toll it took on all of them, leading to the eventual break up in the mid-80's. It would be quite possible to spend more than three hours in there, so much fun was there to be had. But once I'd gone round for the third time, I was quite convinced that I had seen it all, so it was time to exit through the gift shop and quite happily give the four of them even more of my money. I spoke to my AirBnB hosts about the museum that night and they sheepishly said that they had never been, but thought that they might do one day. It's possible that Swedes may be a little embarrassed about ABBA, in the same way that Brits might be about One Direction. But those songs are indestructibly happy pieces of perfect pop and I'd suggest that it would take a heart of stone to visit here and not leave as happy as a clam.

The museum is great, but the weekend bunch buffet is awesome! 175 SEK for an amazing very varied fresh salad buffet and a selection of two hot main courses (ribs and salmon filet when I was there). Plus desserts. Really amazing value for the area, and importantly every single dish was excellent. Must visit!

So you love ABBA? Well who doesn't? It's quite amazing it took this long, but finally there is a place to journey to for the real hard core ABBA pilgrim. And it is a success. Sure, the t-shirts will set you back at least $40 each and a simple pencil in the souvenir shop will cost you two bucks each. But that's not why you would come here. You will come here because you love ABBA and want to honor them and that's a reason good enough as any. Needless to say combining the ABBA experience with the Swedish Music Hall of Fame is genius and you should spend the same amount of time here as in the ABBA exhibition. Don't miss the music room where you can jam together with other visitors. I for one would go back weekly in order to hit the drums and jamming away with anyone wanting to join me. So yeah, if you're in Stockholm the new ABBA museum shouldn't be missed if you're a fan. Please note that the tickets and entrance is time scheduled in order to keep the experience at highest level. You might have to wait for some time in order to get in. It might be a good idea too book in advance via the website.

A great time, particularly if you remember ABBA and are a fan. There's a good bit of history of the group, lots of memorabilia, some great interactive features, and lots of video and interviews to take you down memory lane. You'll be humming ABBA the rest of the afternoon. This is a good way to kill a couple of hours. The museum takes credit cards only, no cash.

If The Beatles had a museum like this, I would move in and risk eviction. What FUN! Truthfully, I have never in my life seen more realistic wax figures of any group or person like the ones of Sweden's Fab4. Everything is stunning! More than one can imagine. The whole place is just... HAPPY! AND, the girls in the gift shop are so sweet, very cool, and extremely helpful. Lotsa great stuff in that shop to take home for friends, family, and YOU!

This place is amazing. Ever since I was a kid Ive loved Agnetha Faltskog and ABBA pa svenska of course.. I love the rooms, the memorabilia, the interactiveness of it- There's even a room where they put you into an Abba music video.. One where you compete to be the newest member. Such fun. Also- you can get into the Swedish Music museaum as well- with some great things there. I love Swedish music-in Swedish-- Mostly older things- Folksy stuff so this place is great for that and for the ABBA aspect The gift shoppe is huge and offers some really fun items. I got an ABBA track jacket Looking back I wish I would have bought more things haha Always next time though!

Stop by to visit gift shop and caffe even if don't have time for museum. Great gift shop and photo opp

It was fantastic for the true ABBA fan and even those who only learned about them from the movie Mamma Mia.

Hideously expensive, but a rare and once in a lifetime experience. I only had 6 hours in Stockholm and this looked like the rarest thing to do. I could have spent all my time here..... but I do have a family. The most remarkable thing? the interactive displays. You could get up on stage with 3D holographic images of the band and get a recording of your self playing with them. You could jump in a sound booth and record yourself over their tracks or with them. You can dance on the disco dance floor. There was more, but that really struck me as an amazing museum experience. Well done to ABBA. Very tasteful.
