Great news guys, Sweden's most famous export will soon have a museum in its honour.

No, there's not going to be an unusually-expensive beer museum, but an Abba one which will be opening in Stockholm in the near future. That's not because there is absolutely nothing else to do in Stockholm, but you have to admit that attracting middle-aged women and gay men in droves is a clever ploy to boost the tourist industry.

This Abba fun-fest is equipped with an area where fans can record their own Abba songs, and a disco where they can show off their dance moves. OK, it does sound like a wedding disco at a social club, but Sweden's constant moves to cater for all minorities is going a little bit too far here to accommodate for people who listen to the lowest form of musical artistry.  

At the cost of £15 million, the organisers have the childlike hope of attracting half a million visitors a year to the waterside Europop mecca. The museum opens in June 2009 and the suspense is quite literally unbearable.
