In case you didn't already have a good reason for a visit to Sweden, now you don't have an excuse not to. The ABBA museum is set to open in Stockholm in the summer of 2009 and will feature a multi-media experience, displaying instruments, rare memorabilia and costumes from the quartet, that shot to international stardom during the 70s with such hits as "Fernando," "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo," just to name a few. 6,500 square feet and three floors will be filled with items provided by the four members of the band, who experienced most of their commercial success during the years of 1976 to 1978. Along with Graceland and Dollyworld, this is just adding one more stop to my list of places that I'll eventually have to visit one day. In case you've managed to forget why ABBA's totally awesome, check out this classic ABBA, Oliva Newton John and Andy Gibb collaboration after the jump and you'll be reminded once again.

I'm so in love with their (the women) boots that I didn't notice his jumpsuit. Are the bottoms fringed?
I like their poses and the kitty shirt.
Michael Hawthorne says:
I do LOVES me some Abba, but the bastards wouldn't let Scissor Sisters include a cover of "Super Trooper" on the new "Year of Ta-Da!" DVD (but they let them perform it in concert?).
BOO on Abba!!!

I had no idea that this TV special even existed! I'm now looking to book my vaca. to Stockholm in late 2009 thanks to this post. My husband is not happy and blames all you bloggers for me discovering this info.
