The ABBA Museum in Stockholm will be the world's first official ABBA museum and already expects to welcome half a million visitors a year.

ABBA fans will love the new museum. A location in central Stockholm has been found, and the construction and set up of the ABBA museum in Stockholm is going well.

The official ABBA museum had been scheduled to open in early 2009 (which has been delayed) and is referred to as "ABBA the Museum". When it finally opens, it will offer museum visitors over 4,000 square meters of interesting ABBA stuff, on three levels.

At the ABBA museum, there will be entertainment and exhibitions focussing on the music, clothing and history of the popular Swedish group. Interactive entertainment will include a studio where you can create your own ABBA songs, and the unique experience of seeing ABBA live at Wembley Stadium.

Guess what else the ABBA museum will be offering? The world's biggest ABBA fan shop (Money, Money, Money!) and a cafe in suitable 70s-style. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting it - as long as I don't have to wear bell-bottoms.
