ABBA theme park opens in London

ABBA World, an ABBA-inspired theme park and museum, will open to the public in London on Wednesday, according to CBS News. The exhibition, which features 25 rooms and over 30,000 square feet of music and mementos, tells the story of the Swedish band's nine year career.

Special attractions include costume displays, interactive quizzes, a dance-and sing-along, 'holographic video' technology, the helicopter featured on the on the cover of the 1976 album Arrival and an audio guide narrated by Stellan Skarsgard, one of the stars of the film Mamma Mia!

Organisers of ABBA World hope to turn the exhibition into a place of musical pilgrimage, much like Memphis's Graceland or Liverpool's Beatles Story, though a mobile one. After the end of its London run in March, promoters will create new versions of the exhibition in Australia and New York by the end of the year.
