"Commercial, for sure, this museum promises to cast a nostalgic look back on the golden age of pop music, embodied by the journey of ABBA, the first Swedish group to meet with international success." Full review
Time Out "This tribute to the glitziest band in Swedish history is chock-a-block with all the gold discs, chunky platforms and quirky memorabilia you’d imagine." Full review
Frommer's "It's a kitschy temple to 1970s bad taste. The halls are crammed with gold records, outrageous stage outfits, the mixing table from Polar Studios, even the helicopter from the "Arrival" album cover. " Full review
