The music, memories and magic of those Swedish geniuses of pop, including 20 original costumes and interactive displays. There’s also live concert footage, promotional and behind-the-scenes photographs, album artworks and other ABBA memorabilia, as well as exclusive band interviews. The role that Australia played in the band's success is also dealt with.
Here are Time Out's top five exhibits:
1. Frida and Agnetha's Blue and Yellow Cat Dresses
Admire the outfits, designed by Owe Sandström, that the girls wore in ABBA performances and photo shoots in the mid-70s, including on their visits to Australia.
2. Viggsö Writing Studio
Peer into a replica of the island cottage where Benny and Björn came up with hits like ‘Fernando', ‘Thank You For the Music', ‘Ring, Ring' and ‘Dancing Queen'.
3. Behind the Scenes Photography
Check out an impressive selection of candid photographs of the group, including this shot of Frida and Agnetha recording in 1977.
4. Bell 47 Helicopter
Here's a chance to step into an ABBA album cover yourself: a replica of the helicopter from the 1976 album Arrival.
5. ‘Waterloo' Stage Outfits
In the beginning, there was Eurovision. Feast your eyes on the outfits ABBA wore at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest when they became the first Swedish act to win the competition with ‘Waterloo'. Darryn King
