The legendary pop group ABBA is getting its own museum in Stockholm. The pair behind this initiative are entrepreneurs Ewa Wigenheim-Westman and Ulf Westman.
"It’s great that someone feels like taking on our musical history and making it accessible,” Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Reuss said in a joint statement. “We have a lot of confidence in Ewa and Ulf and we hope and believe that it will be a fun and groovy museum to visit.”
ABBA the Museum will be a modern museum filled with ABBA’s music, original clothes, history, images, instruments and much more that captures the group’s heyday in the 70s and 80s. It will also be an interactive experience where visitors can participate with all their senses.
“This will be quite a tourist attraction – a real international magnet. We’re counting on 500,000 visitors annually after opening in 2008,” says Westman.
