ABBA The Museum on Djurgarden celebrates the four Swedes who became one of the best-selling pop acts of all time, with the glittering costumes, the gold records, a recreated studio and the famous red telephone that only the band members can call. It leans hard into interactivity, letting visitors sing, mix and dance their way through the story.

What to look for

  • The costumes - the dazzling stage outfits of the 1970s.
  • The recreated studio - the Polar studio where the hits were made.
  • Interactive stages - sing and perform as the fifth member of ABBA.
  • Memorabilia - gold discs, instruments and the story of the band.

When to go

Year-round; a fully indoor attraction for any weather, popular so book ahead at busy times. Allow an hour or two.

Good to know

It is a fan-focused, interactive attraction rather than a serious museum, delightful for ABBA lovers and slight for others. It is on the pricey side. Best for those who want to sing along rather than a quiet gallery.

Nearby

The Vasa Museum and Skansen are alongside on Djurgarden; central Stockholm is a short ride.
