20061128_abba_260x220.jpgThe band we all love to hate, or hate to love. Yes, definitely hate to love especially when “Supertrooper’s” hook gets stuck in your head and you can’t stop humming it.

Anyway, now ABBA is getting it’s own museum. Another reason, after Ikea, to love Sweden.

Bad news: it won’t open until 2008. Then again, that gives Americans plenty of time to book tickets to the opening.

Organizers are still searching for a suitable location for the museum, but said Tuesday it will open somewhere in central Stockholm in 2008.

ABBA is one of the most successful bands in history, having sold more than 370 million albums. While the group hasn't performed together since 1982, it continues to sell nearly 3 million records a year and the musical ''Mamma Mia!'' _ written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and based on the group's hits _ has been seen by more than 27 million people around the world.

The interactive museum will feature original outfits and instruments used by ABBA, handwritten song lyrics, a display of awards and ''all other things we can think of and find,'' said Ulf Westman, an event consultant who is spearheading the project with his wife, Ewa Wigenheim-Westman.
