London / 30th/2010
You might not like ABBA, but you can't escape it. This Swedish group have sold almost 400 million records. ABBA will never be reunited again, so they say...but if you are in London, and you really love them, then you must go early in the day to the ABBAWORLD exhibition(when I was leaving, it was getting crazy), it opened this week; trust me when I say you will have a great time. There are 25 rooms, over 30,000 square feet filled with everything from fan letters to an area only for costumes, there is a stage where you can perform with the four members of the group projected on a green background(so funny), they even recreated the backstage personal make up area...there is so much to do and see, you hear them everywhere...This project is completely supported by Andersson, Ulvaeus, Lyngstad and Agnetha. They donated a lot of their personal ABBA wardrobe items to this exhibition. I advice you to be safe and not stay too long in the store area. It can cast a spell in your wallet , it is a dream ABBA store, you can even buy prints with a certificate of authencity(very pricey) . The organizers plan to take the theme park on tour, it will stay in London till March, then Australia and New York. As you can see in the photo below, I got inside the helicopter pictured on the cover of the 1976 album " Arrival " for a photo...lol ! Knowing me....
