ABBA Museum - Part 3

More pictures from my trip to the ABBA Museum - starting off with two tour jackets....

Also in the touring section was a set of the original microphones which were used on stage by the group.

The re-creation if the "Arrival" helicopter was very popular - lots of people waiting in line to sit inside and have their picture taken.

The ABBA puppets I had seen before when the ABBA World exhibition was in London but they are always fun to see...

As an avid collector of ABBA records the next section was of great interest to me - amazing to see quite so many covers which I had never seen before...

Last picture for the update is a presentation celebrating 375,000,000 record sales - quite an achievement...

ABBA Museum - Part 2

Second blog covering my visit to the ABBA Museum last weekend. The picture below is a re-creation of Stig's office...

The next display was based on ABBA's recording studios - in the background the video for "Gimme Gimme Gimme" which was filmed in the actual studio.
Opposite the recording studio was the famous hut on Viggso where Bjorn and Benny wrote many of ABBA's hits.
In the section which covered ABBA across the world a dressing room display was set-up showing where Agnetha and Frida would prepare before going on stage.
The picture below shows a re-creation of the room where ABBA's costumes were created and included a video of some of the famous outfits.
The last picture was of a re-creation of Agnetha's kitchen (after her divorce from Bjorn) - I thought this one was a little odd however when listening to the commentary from Bjorn he said he took the picture (which you can see through the window) of his daughter leaving for school.
