Ebbe Strandell, Chief Technology Officer, demonstrates how ABBA the Museum has used innovative digital technology and multi-media exhibits about the world-famous pop group. Abba the Museum is dedicated to the legendary Swedish pop group – ABBA, who topped the music charts from 1972 to 1982 and is one of the most successful pop groups in music history. The museum was born out of the ABBAWorld Exhibition that toured several countries during 2009 and 2011. The museum presents the visitor with an opportunity to experience life as a band member through interactive exhibition elements, and to follow the bands’ career and success through exhibits of memorabilia.
The museum features a recording studio – The Polarstudio - where visitors can try the recording equipment, a dance floor, a direct telephone line to the group members, a self-playing piano controlled remotely by Benny Andersson, a stage, and music video recordings. It also showcases everything from stage costumes, original artifacts, concert footage and gold records.
