Phone Booth
Contents
“If it rings, they should answer it because it will be a member of ABBA calling.”
In a room dedicated to the song Ring, Ring features a chunky red phone whose number only four people know.
The four people are none other than the ABBA members Agnetha Faeltskog, Benny Andersson, Bjoern Ulvaeus, and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad.
Next to it is a sign board that says if it rings, they should pick it up because it will be a member of ABBA calling.
Mattias Hansson (CEO of ABBA Museum) affirmed that “it will be a real phone call from the members, and they all have promised to call regularly.”
So if you’re lucky enough to be near it when it rings, don’t hesitate to answer—it’ll be ABBA calling you!
