Rendering 13: Music

The article 'Stockholm, Sweden: Abba museum preview' was published on the website of the newspaper 'Telegraph' on May 5, 2013. It was written by Tamara Hinson.

The aim of the article is to tell about the opening of ABBA's museum. The Museum is located on the island of Djurgården.

The museum is located in a building known as the Swedish Music Hall of Fame, a hotel and a restaurant, but the Abba museum will undoubtedly be the star of the show. Exhibits include a replica of the cottage on the island of Viggso where the group wrote many of their songs and a mock-up of the changing rooms at Edmonton Ice Hockey Arena, where they performed during their final world tour. There will also be a dressing room area where visitors will be able to try on some of Abba’s most famous costumes, and fans who’ve dreamt of joining the band will be able to appear on virtually stage alongside them.

The author tells about an unusual audio guide produced by Catherine Johnson, who wrote the screenplay for the film Mamma Mia! The Abba museum has got plenty of bells and whistles. There is a stage on which visitors will be able to appear alongside holograms of the band, and entrance tickets which can be scanned and used to access footage created during the visit. But it is a museum which doesn’t take itself too seriously. “It’s very hi-tech but combined with warmth and humour,” explained Ulvaeus.

In conclusion, the author gives brief information where fans can stay, eat and drink. To my mind, this museum is really wonderful thing. It helps people to remember such a star band as ABBA.
