We're loving our time in Sweden and today got to experience first hand Sweden's largest export. Of course I'm speaking of the legendary music group ABBA. Stockholm is home to ABBA The Museum and it features all things ABBA related -- music, movies, costumes, etc. -- and we learned all about the collaborations of Björn, Benny, Frida, and Agnetha.
Just hearing the name ABBA -- you now have Dancing Queen going through your head and you're visualizing Mamma Mia (the movie or musical). The museum is very interactive, letting you become the "5th Member" of the band in the recording studio and in music videos. They save these to their website and you can download them later.
There's lots of memorabilia from both the band and the Mamma Mia movie. Sure it's campy, but we had a lot of fun. I auditioned to be the 5th member of the band, which you can check out below. Mona cheered me on, but I'm certainly not going to quit my day job.
