Visiting the ABBA Museum was one of the highlights of my trip! I've wanted to come here for ages and I'm so glad I finally did. If you're a true ABBA fan or just looking to have a good time, avoid the last time slot of the day as it won't give you enough time to enjoy everything. The museum has various sections filled with interactive displays. I got so caught up in the activities that I nearly missed closing time. We booked for 16:30, with the museum closing at 18:00. Unfortunately, I felt rushed at the end because of a private tour behind us. It was a bummer, but I still had a fantastic time! I'll definitely return, this time earlier.
For ABBA Superfans Only
If you’re a huge fan of ABBA, you may appreciate this museum, but for the average visitor, it feels more like a collection of memorabilia. There are costumes, instruments, and some background info on the band, with a few interactive features like karaoke and a dance stage, although many likely won't join in.
The jukebox is a nice touch for listening to ABBA tracks, but you could just as easily use Spotify. The opening video was made by an editor associated with U2, but it ended up being chaotic and more confusing than enjoyable.
Ultimately, unless you're a devoted ABBA admirer, the experience may lack substance beyond a sense of nostalgia.
The ABBA Museum in Stockholm is a remarkable destination for music lovers, whether you're a fan or simply interested in pop culture history. It meticulously celebrates Sweden's most famous entertainers with stunning attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm.
Upon entering, you become part of the lives of Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid. The exhibits take you through their pre-ABBA lives, their rise to fame, and their ongoing legacy with original costumes, instruments, gold records, and personal artifacts.
The interactive features are fantastic. You can sing with holographic ABBA members, dance to their iconic performances, try on virtual costumes, and even play Benny's original piano. The karaoke room for "Winner Takes It All" was a blast! The audio guide featuring the band adds a personal touch that truly enhances the experience.
The museum beautifully combines nostalgic moments with historical insights about their musical contributions. My initially reluctant teen was thoroughly entertained and talked about it the whole way home.
This museum is worth every krona of your admission fee, providing an unforgettable, joyful experience that’ll leave you singing ABBA songs for days. Thank you for the music!
An incredible place for any ABBA fan! The museum offers interactive activities and a wealth of information about their history, along with documentaries. However, the ticket prices are a bit steep (around €30) unless you are a truly dedicated fan. One advantage is that if you have a disability card, you can request a free ticket.
What an awesome collection of memorabilia and original costumes! The interactive displays are great, and if you're brave enough, you can perform with ABBA as their fifth member! I spent around two hours here but could easily have stayed longer if not for other engagements.
