Stockholm museum dedicated to ABBA to open on May 7
Fans will be able to sing along with the band - through computer simulation
After ABBA The Movie in 1977, the Mamma Mia musical and movie, and a 2010 travelling museum exhibit, a permanent museum to the band will open in Stockholm on May 7.
"We're going to offer visitors a unique experience," museum director Mattias Hansson said, revealing that people may even get to speak live with a band member.
After months of construction, the modern building in the leafy Djurgarden neighbourhood is nearing completion.
As opening day looms, convoys of trucks roll up to the site to deliver the furnishings and items that will make up the collection: flamboyant sequined costumes, gold records, and re-creations of their recording studio and dressing rooms, among other things.
Workers bustle to finish what will be a temple to the creators of some of the biggest hits of the 1970s, including Voulez Vous, Dancing Queen and Waterloo, the song that won the band the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and thrust them on to the international scene.
Through the museum's big windows, passersby can catch a glimpse of a large main room. Few people have been authorised to enter the premises until the official opening. But they have let slip a few details.
