    Mama Mia here we go......

    After our early morning walk, we headed back to Djurgården and the ABBA Museum. I was really looking forward to this exhibition, and I wasn’t disappointed. Both Ian and Angus also enjoyed the experience but wouldn’t perform an ABBA song with me. The exhibition takes you through the early years, when they were all in different bands and had not met yet. When they did meet, Benny and Bjorn realised they had a similar vision musically, and so it was a “no brainer” they should form a band and they both knew of Agnetha and Frida. In fact, Bjorn had the hots for Agnetha and, when the opportunity came about for them to sing together, he jumped at the chance. The museum is full of videos, images, memorabilia, costumes, awards, gold records and stories that you can listen to as you wander around the exhibition. There is also a section on what has happened since the band broke up - the successes with Chess and Mama Mia the musical, and movies.Read more
