general information
The grand and expected opening of the museum of the group (ABBA The Museum) was held on May 7, 2013. On this day, the museum was attended by three soloists: Annie-Frid Lingstad, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulveus.

From an unusual design:
- The phone of the era of the 80-ies of the twentieth century in the room of the song "Ring, Ring". As the museum staff assures, his number is known only to the members of the group. If the phone rings suddenly, you can pick up the phone and chat with the idol. The group members promised the museum administration to call and communicate with fans in their spare time.
- Mini-studio , where you can record a song with your participation. Electronic mixer will allow you to reduce your vocal and various musical instruments.
- Speech . Some lucky people are given the opportunity to perform on a small stage with the original holograms of the whole Abba quartet.
- On the computer installed in the museum you can create your own double and endlessly try on him concert costumes and even teach you how to dance.
- An unusual tool. There is a piano in the museum that has a direct connection to the home pianist of the composer Benny Andersson. When he plays music at home, he plays the piano in the museum.
- The present helicopter , depicted on the cover of the Arrival disk, is one of the museum's largest exhibits. You can sit in the cockpit and make your own cover.
