When it comes to museums, there is such variety. The ABBA museum is not only a place you can easity visit more than once, it truly was an experience. Very well done! Entertaining and interactive on so many levels. Every aspect was well thought out. The history of the individual members and band together, the costumes, the music, awards, etc. As I moved through the museum, I found myself thinking I could have stayed and enjoyed each room twice as long. Plan a minimum of 2 hours for a visit. If you are an Abba fan, this is the place to come to. I truly left sing Abba songs for days. Wow, just wow! One of my favorite museums ever! read more

The honey and I aren't really ABBA fans, but since we were in the area and it's a fairly famous thing to do in Stockholm we decided to visit. First, it needs to be noted that the museum was created with a large amount of support from the band, so it's had an incredibly positive spin put on the story that's told - especially when you realize the group hated touring and both couples divorced during it's run. My favorite part were the costumes, which were incredibly interesting to see up close but the space was quite crowded and poorly designed for crowd control. The lobby was flashy with lights and music, but after entering the museum it felt like window dressing to try and make the experience look better than it is. So is the museum worth the $34 usd ticket cost? In my opinion no. It's overhyped and rather unpleasant when it's busy, but if you're a fan I could see it being worth it to you, if not just to get a closer look at ABBA's fabulous costumes. read more

One of my most favorite things I did in Stockholm and not just cuz I love ABBA - I think anyone who appreciates music and the 1970's would love this museum! It's laid out very well and flows well with lots of interactive exhibits as well as history items that were so fun to see! A MUST HIT in Stockholm! read more

If you like or even sort of like ABBA then this is a worthwhile visit. It's well done and celebrates Swedens most famous band. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as they limit how many can enter the museum in batches. read more

The history of ABBA and the interactiveness of the museum made this worth it for us. Is this tourists trappy, maybe? But for someone who grew up listening to ABBA's songs, it was 100% a fabulous visit. Like the slogan of the museum - walk in, dance out - we definitely danced to all the songs! read more

This was a great experience to visit on my second visit to Stockholm. I didn't realize how popular ABBA was (regardless if I knew most of their songs -- LOL). It was slightly pricey, but you definitely get a lot of content for your money. What made the experience that much better were the folks that dressed up for the visit. Make sure you give yourself a good 1.5 hours. If you are visiting with any big ABBA fans... it might take you longer since there are so many interactive exhibits. Overall, this was a fun place and I recommend it for folks staying 4+ days or a second visit to Stockholm. read more

Full disclosure: I've never been an ABBA fan. But, when in Sweden, right? So the ABBA Museum was our last stop on our museum crawl on the island of Djurgården when we were in Sweden last week. I enjoyed the museum so much more than I was expecting, given that I am not a huge ABBA fan. It gave me such a greater appreciation of just how popular the band was. And it was informative about their music, their backgrounds, what they did after ABBA, etc. Parts of the museum were interactive, and the museum was very well laid out and not very crowded despite having quite a few visitors when we were there. I certainly recommend including it in your Djurgården museum crawl if you're visiting Stockholm and/or Sweden for the first time! read more

Let me start by saying that I wasn't a huge fan of ABBA as I don't know the band well enough but I do like some of their music. I found the museum to be very amusing and a bit enlightening. There was a lot of interactive areas which made it fun. I definitely learnt some things about the band. If you're a fan of ABBA then it's a must see. If you know little about the band then it's still a go as it's entertaining and fun. I think the cost was about $30. read more

A place dedicated to Abba the Swedish iconic band everyone loves. This was so much fun and full of nostalgic music and pictures and videos and merchandise. Great place to learn about their history form start to end. They highlight each band members journey and provide great insight to things you may not have known. Great way to spend an afternoon . I suggest buying tickets online to not have to wait in line and they are pretty strict about not hopping into an earlier time slot.Only line up when your time is scheduled. Fun time here and the gift shop is cool too! read more

I actually haven't listened to a lot of ABBA in my life - although I certainly racked up the time on my Scandinavian road trip! - but I still knew I needed to go to the ABBA Museum while in Sweden. We hadn't realized that you needed to pre-book tickets, so we showed up and saw the long line and weren't sure if we'd able to go at all. Thankfully, they were making announcements explaining that you could book tickets online and when the next slots were available. The online ticket system kept failing for us though, so we went up to the counter, and they helped us get tickets purchased at the online price (slightly cheaper than the in-person price) when we showed them the error we were receiving on our phone. It was SO. CROWDED. I would hate to see how bad it would get if they weren't trying to space out the crowd with timed entry. It was a neat museum with some interactive elements, but it was hard to fully enjoy the whole experience with so many people there. read more

You can't visit Stockholm without stopping by the ABBA Museum--it would be a disservice! The museum is incredibly interactive, keeping fans singing from the moment they arrive until long after they leave. You'll start with their latest project, ABBA Voyage, and then end following their solo careers over the years. I loved seeing the costumes they wore throughout the years and the fan memorabilia on display, including items from a dedicated gentleman who attended all their North American tours and donated his most prized possession to the museum. Unfortunately, the merchandise selection was a bit underwhelming compared to what it could have been, especially with the resurgence of the song, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" thanks to Gen-Z. read more

On Christmas Day in Stockholm, not much is open, except maybe The ABBA Museum. For those of us of a certain it was a delightful trip down memory lane. ABBA became famous when they became Sweden's first and only musical group to win the annual Eurovision contest in 1974 singing Waterloo. The museum follows all four members, Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Frida from before the were ABBA, through the ABBA years and then even after the group broke up. A number of interactive exhibits makes it a fun visit. read more

I wanted to love it so much more, and I'm glad I went, but it was just ok. You could listen to some vignettes in the voices of each of the musicians, which was nice, but it was hard to even know where to focus, between all the signage to read, while trying to listen to the audio, and take it all in, amongst the million other people. I did learn a few things I didn't know about them, and it seems like it's very much geared toward the newer fans who discovered abba with the show Mama Mia, which is fine, but as a 70s kid, I don't find that as exciting. The music speaks for itself though, and will stand up through time. So many ear worms, that you will be humming or singing abba tunes for days after. read more

I went to this museum while I was in Stockholm and absolutely loved it and keep in mind I'm not even a huge ABBA fan. The museum had lots of interactive exhibits which makes it fun for everyone. The museum was super well done overall. read more

Aloha, when in Stockholm visiting the most popular musical groups' museum out of Sweden is likely on the list of things to do when on a cruise ship. Wasn't expecting much, yet was pleasantly happy we visited the ABBA museum. It was fun and interactive. Peeps got up on stage and performed with the holographic group and you could take pics in their various props. Enjoyed walking through the bright performance outfits they wore. Only bummer was the limited swag in the store, no sizes bummer they need to restock. Now to get Dancing Queen out of my head, lol. A hui hou! read more

ABBA The Museum - Museums Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

TL;DR: Place was short, overpriced, and reeked of sewage! Sub par experience for a high price! Adults pay nearly 300 SEK to get in and the whole museum lasted about an hour max. Even if you stopped to look at every single detail you'd be there for not very long. Additionally, outside and in the venue stank of sewage. Whether it was a pipe burst or whatnot, the whole place stink of salty sulfur. Definitely not worth the high price and a big let down! Save your money for other museums in the area (Skansen and Vasa have 10x the contents for half the price) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Although most of my friends LOVE this place, I found it sub-par. The QR code readers at the entrance are a pain. Most of the time they do not read correctly. Often the staff has to assist. Then they have to plug in something external or just ask the guest to make their screen brighter. Too much wasted time. Then there are the lockers. You have to stow your bags. Don't ask me why; there is nothing to steal, as everything is behind glass. They have an incredibly odd and impractical shape. The movies have no place to sit. There are no instructions about when to enter the theaters, so folks wait outside, despite being able to go in any time. A few people stand against the wall, others have to sit on the floor in order not to block the view for others. Overall, the place is very poorly designed. Would I go again for the first time? Yes. Would I go again for a second time? Absolutely not. Been there, done that! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

ABBA The Museum - Museums Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

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. read more

My husband and I showed up at the ABBA Museum after we arrived in Stockholm and got checked into our Air B&B. Our plan was to go here before the Vasa Museum. The ABBA museum is not on the SL card so we would have to pay for this museum. There is a discount for students so bring your ID if you have one. The ABBA museum is very interactive and you will need to keep your ticket handy. You can play guitar hero, paint a virtual fence (like in Mamma Mia), record yourself singing ABBA songs, and more. There are tons of displays and facts about ABBA throughout the museum. After you are done you can check out the gift shop for your ABBA needs like tshirts, glasses, chocolates, key chains and more. read more

It's hard to imagine that a band could have so much influence in the global music scene 35 years after they broke up. Their music is timeless. The experience in ABBA, The Museum, is priceless. Their best-selling single "Fernando" sold over 10 million copies and propelled them into the league of legendary bands such as The Beatles. (As a reference point, "Hey Jude" sold about 8 million copies and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" sold 12 million.) Even more amazing is that the life span of the band was only about 8 years - from the time they won the Eurovision Contest in 1974 to the time they disbanded in 1982. In fact, some of their most memorable music was from the later stages of their career, when the divorces of the couples foreshadowed the breakup of the band. Their music and lyrics turned darker. Their music began to carry a subtle tone of sadness and hopelessness, which was a great contrast to the upbeat and energetic vibes of their earlier songs. "I don't want to talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history... The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear..." (The Winner Takes It All) Going back to the museum itself, some highlights of the exhibits include: -- Video of their life-changing "Waterloo" performance from the 1974 Eurovision Contest in its entirety. -- Plenty of pictures of the four members from their childhood through the different stages of the band. -- Real size wax sculpture of the band. -- Many videos are played in different areas of the museum, some of them reflecting the various milestones of their careers. Their famous and very well-liked "The Last Video" (puppet show) was played at a special screen continuously. -- A small theatre showing "Abba, The Movie". -- Re-creation of many of their work spaces, including parts of their home, their recording studio, and dressing rooms. -- Plenty of their original instruments and equipment. -- Several karaoke booths where you can sing along with Abba and have your performance rated and recorded. -- Lots of original ABBA items were on display in a special area that included actual costumes worn, numerous of the awards won, original manuscripts, etc. -- And many, many more memorabilia, too countless to mention. Dear ABBA, Thank You for the music, the songs I'm singing. Thanks for all the joy they're bringing. Hasta Mañana 'till we meet again... read more

Very, very informative museum on anything and everything regarding ABBA. Tastefully designed with tons of memorabilia, including outfits from past performances worn by the artists, notes on their music sheets, and other awards. I'm not an ABBA fanatic like others, but I enjoyed this museum. I wouldn't necessarily go back, but it was still really interesting. My most favorite parts were the karaoke area where you could get up on stage and sing along the hologram versions of the band members and the private rooms where you could dance to their music and make a goofy music video. Another enjoyable part was going into those rooms with the big screen that would show old videos and interviews. It made me really nostalgic and I suddenly missed listening to all their amazing hits. Needless to say, I was jamming to ABBA music the week following my trip back to Los Angeles. read more

A great interactive museum that is perfect for the hard core ABBA fan in your life! This museum traces the history of ABBA, all of its members and even touches on many of their side projects. Many of the exhibits are interactive and I love that the ones that record you don't charge you more to download the audio or video! Everything is explained well and the exhibits are laid out very thoughtfully. You are welcome to take as many photos as you would like and at the end, the gift shop has anything you could imagine that is ABBA related. Air conditioning throughout is very cold which is perfect on the hot day we visited. The only real negative is it is geared to the hard core ABBA fan. The details on the exhibits seem a bit much when they sometimes don't explain the basics. Overall it was fun to see and a good stop on your visit to Stockholm. read more

This place is awesome! I loved it. It was like a trip through my childhood. I grew up with my parents listening to ABBA...well, at least my mom. It's a little pricey, but worth it. The museum walks you through the band's formation, the tours they took and albums the produced, all the way to their break up. They've got tons of original ABBA stuff on display. It's a great tour and a little bit of a break from the "normal" Stockholm history stuff. read more

As usual, Jamie W. was responsible for the kitschiest moment of our brief Scandinavian vacation. When we went to Tokyo in December, it was the bizarre, anime-come-to-life antics of Robot Restaurant (review: http://bit.ly/1SUz7sv). And now that we were in Stockholm, he decided ABBA The Museum was a must-stop for us. My knowledge of ABBA was fleeting. I remember liking "Waterloo" in high school but then their syncopated pop tunes started to get on my nerves until they resurfaced in "Mamma Mia! The Movie". Much like Van McCoy-era disco, ABBA's percolating toe-tappers started to grow on me again. The museum is not in the central city area but on the more bucolic island of Djurgården near the Gröna Lund theme park. It's midway between Skansen and Vasamuseet, two of Stockholm's biggest tourist attractions, which makes it easy to get to via metro or taxicab. The exhibits are all on one subterranean floor and follow the chronology of the group starting with a short film montage shown on multiple screens in a darkened circular room. From there, you can take the handheld audio tour and listen to group members explain the genesis of the group through various artifacts on display from recording studios to costumed mannequins. Clearly the most entertaining aspects of this museum are the karaoke booths, the video recreations and the recording studio where you can become the fifth ABBA member. Of course I did it all and didn't have to wait in queues as April is Sweden's shoulder season with the museum receiving a paucity of visitors during the cold weather. So go to ABBA The Musuem to find your inner Agnetha (photo: http://bit.ly/1pWksm8)...or Benny depending on your proclivities. There's also the Swedish Music Hall of Fame to visit in the adjacent space. The gift shop is fairly shameless with the Honey Honey honey a particular temptation (photo: http://bit.ly/1pWksma). read more

OK OK no I am not a huge ABBA fan but my parents are and we're in Stockholm so why not. I looked at it more as a pop culture history tour. I pre-booked tix online (which is cheaper than buying them there) on my iPhone for 940 SEK ($112.61). We are 4 adults and it came with audio guides. We took an Uber for just under $20, took us about 15-20 minutes, we stayed by the Erickson Globe. We ran through the whole tour in a little over 2 hours, they can keep you busy, especially when your with ABBA fans like my old school parents. There's an autobiography on each of the band members including a shit ton of memorabilia and visuals. There's even a red phone reserved exclusively for when the real band members want to call thier museum and talk to a fan. Sad to say no one called while we were there. There's interactive stuff. Want to make your own music video or record your voice over ABBA tracks, you can do that and then some. Machine even prints out a receipt with a web link in case you nailed the Dancing Queen chorus and want to hear or see yourself do it! As you leave of course there is a gift shop in case you want to buy a t-shirt or other fan stuff. We ate at their Cafe, it was reasonable and thier burger was pretty damn good, fries with mayo was just OK. Overall the history was cool, and my parents had a blast. They both loved it, thier 70's kids . If your part of that generation then I guess you should definitely check it out while your in Stockholm. My only complaint is $112 is kinda pricey, a little under $30 a head. However Scandinavia in general is fairly expensive. It's not something I'd do again, once was enough for me. read more

I went to the ABBA museum with my family today and it was fun! We went on a Tuesday and the line to get tickets was short. The ticket saves all the things you do within the museum so make sure not to lose it! They accept discover/diner's club international which as no foreign transaction fees. Make sure to bring a credit card because they don't accept cash.There are lockers if you need to store anything while you're walking around. We were welcomed by a two minute video about ABBA which was cool. The exhibit is interactive and there are places where you can scan your ticket and record yourself singing ABBA, dancing in ABBA music videos, and there's even a stage with holograms of ABBA that you can sing and dance with.
