ABBA Museum Opening Postponed in Stockholm

The June 4, 2009, opening of ABBA the Museum in Stockholm has been postponed. The renovation of the 100-year-old Stora Tullhuset –the location of the museum- will take longer than expected.

The builders are reviewing their plans, and the ABBA museum “will take a while longer than expected,” says Ulf Westman, founder of ABBA the Museum. As a first step in this new process, the museum management has agreed with the building-owner Stockholms Hamnar (Ports of Stockholm) to cancel the present agreement.

This provides an opportunity to find new solutions and to keep all doors open at this stage. It remains to be seen whether the museum ultimately will be located in the original premises of Stora Tullhuset.

The interest in the museum is large the world over and new investors are entering the project, which will secure its financial future. There will be an ABBA museum, although it may take a while longer than expected.
