ABBA museum to be opened in London
January 27th, 2010 - 11:59 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Jan 27 (THAINDIAN NEWS) ABBA museum is all set to be opened at Earls Court in West London, and it is named as ABBA World. It is a huge space and has around 25 rooms, which are full of costumes, photos, interactive technological devices, various forms of memorabilia, and computer recreations of the Swedish band on stage. The area is more than 30,000 square feet and is full of the ABBA memorabilia. This museum will chronicle the lives of Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anna-Frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Faltskog from their band days, to their present lives also.
Even though the group parted ways in 1980’s and has vowed not to reunite, the ABBA World museum news does raise a thought that the group might reunite again, and give its fans some more memorable hits. However Frida and Bjorn said that, they are tired with this boring question and the group has absolutely no plans to reunite and they just want to enjoy the nostalgia. Frida also clarified that things were different in their youth, and now she won’t be able to do the things that she used to do earlier.
At ABBA World the fans can hum along with the holographic images of the much-loved group. They can even view their costumes and even the cabins where they composed many of their hit songs. The president of company behind the museum said that the main defining principle behind its design was, “How do we give the visitor a big hug in each room?”
