ABBA The Museum

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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!

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