ABBA: The Museum, Interactive music museum in Djurgården, Sweden
This museum in Djurgården is dedicated to a legendary Swedish pop quartet and displays stage costumes, personal belongings, and footage from live concerts. The exhibition uses modern media technology to guide visitors through interviews and interactive displays that bring the artists' story to life.
The project began in the early 2000s to document the career of a pop band that was active between the 1970s and 1980s. After initial challenges, this museum found its permanent home on the island and now welcomes visitors on a consistent basis.
This space celebrates one of the most successful pop bands ever and shows how their music connected people across the world. Throughout the rooms, you can sense how deeply the group shaped popular culture and inspired artists who came after them.
The museum is easy to reach by public transit: trams, buses, and ferries all serve the island location. Plan to spend time exploring the interactive exhibits, as they invite you to stop and engage rather than simply walk through.
Inside the museum sits a telephone that only band members can call because they alone know its number. Visitors see this device and can wonder about this private line that still works today.
