Abba Museum

Finally.

Lawrence Van Gelder's "Arts, Briefly" item in today's New York Times seemed to eat my brain a la "The Manchurian Candidate": I found myself at Amazon, having just ordered "Abba's Greatest Hits," before I realized what I'd done.

Mamma Mia.

Here's the Times' mention.

Abba Museum Planned

A museum dedicated to the Swedish disco group Abba is to open in Stockholm in June 2009, Agence France-Presse reported. The museum, a short walk from the city center in a waterfront heritage site that was once a customs hall, will fill three floors and more than 43,000 square feet. Initiators of the project said all four members of Abba — Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad — have given their backing to the museum and will provide clothing, instruments and music. Despite breaking up a quarter of a century ago, Abba still sells two million to three million albums a year.
