ABBA the Museum: Top 5 Reasons to Love it and Visit
We discussed previously which are the best museums around the world and the favorites of many travel bloggers. In that moment, I expressed that my favorite museum was ABBA the Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, even though this was not an art museum. Thanks to TBEX Europe I had the chance to go back to ABBA the Museum and I confirmed why it is my favorite museum.

The day we visited this museum as part of the TBEX activities, I got finally to see the Eurovision 60 years exposition. I am a huge ABBA fun but I am a bigger Eurovision freak. I couldn’t hold myself and these were some of the things I did:
I’ve already shared a bit of what this museum does to me. Here you can find real reasons to love and visit Abba the Museum
1. You need to visit Abba the Museum if you’re an Abba or Eurovision Fan.
First thing, Abba the Museum is a great place if you are either an ABBA fan or an Eurovision fan. If you count with one of these, it will be easier for you to actually enjoy it. Is imposible being an ABBA or an Eurovision fan and not enjoying singing and dancing all over the place to these songs. I mean, if you’re not a fan, I still believe there are plenty of ways to enjoy it still. This museum in fact, is a paradise for any Eurovision fan.
You’ll love ABBA the Museum If you are a music fan in general.
The Swedish Music Hall of Fame is located inside Abba the Museum. Anyone who is a music fan in general knows that Sweden is one of the biggest musical exporters in the world. Definitely, this museum celebrates the Swedish Pop Music that is still praised around the world. You might think you have an idea of Swedish music, but once you get there, you discover you only knew a little. Getting to know more about Swedish musical hits through the years was something I loved.
You’ll love Abba the Museum if you enjoy karaoke and dancing
Yes, I am a HUGE karaoke fan, so, I will totally love a museum that allows me to showcase my amazing singing skills. While having fun doing this, Abba the Museum also walks you through the history of a great band. In this museum, you actually get as well in touch with them by singing those songs that made them famous. It is impossible not trying to hum to “Dancing Queen”.
You’ll love Abba the Museum if you want to learn more about the biggest Swedish band
ABBA is the biggest Swedish band. I am pretty sure that everyone can recall at least one of their songs, even when they don’t really know is by them. If you don’t know who they are or are not sure about their songs, ABBA the museum does a great job on letting you know all the details about their career. You will sure know a lot more about them after leaving and of course, why not getting souvenirs in the store?
Abba the Museum is part of Swedish culture!
If you are in Stockholm, you will see Gamla Stan, Skansen, maybe the Royal Palace and the Museum of Art. The reason why you will try to do all of this is because you are trying to get in touch with Swedish culture but, how can you get in touch with Swedish culture if you actually don’t know nothing about the first Swedish band to win Eurovision?
The Swedish culture has a whole cult for Eurovision, starting by how big is the Melodifestivalen, their national selection for their Eurovision representative. In 2023, Sweden tied Ireland as the country who has won this festival most time and the only two countries who have won it with the same singer twice.
Although it’s not in Stockholm, We need to talk about ABBA Voyage
Abba Voyage is a whole different experience from Abba The Museum. It is a s a virtual concert residency on which the four ABBA members are represented by their avatars. These are held in London in a venue called the ABBA Arena. This show started in May 2022 and the plan is to keep on going all the way through to 2024.
If you are planning to visit London, buy your tickets and live the ABBA experience.

The only reason why I didn’t visit the Abba museum when I was in Stockholm was because it wasn’t included in the Stockholm Pass and the price was too high. I wish I would have though, I love Abba, I grew up with their songs.
Amanda Williams
Lol, this sounds like fun. I have a friend who is a huge eurovision fan and I’m going to share this with her!

It’s my favourite museum too! Well, close second after Vasamuseet 🙂 But I have been there several times already so that says a lot.
I was at the Eurovision in Stockholm and it was an unforgettable experience.
