Avicii Experience is a museum located in Stockholm, Sweden. [1] It is built in the memory of Swedish music producer Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii, to exhibit his work. [2]
On 9 June 2020, it was announced that an Avicii Tribute Museum would open in Stockholm in the summer of 2021. [3] The renamed Avicii Experience was opened in February 2022 by Prince Carl Phillip and Princess Sofia, alongside Bergling's father Klas, in Space Stockholm, a new digital culture centre near Sergels torg. [4] [5] [6] The museum was the idea of Bergling's parents, who wanted to give fans a place to remember and celebrate the work of their late son and learn about his process for creating music. [1] [7]
The museum features reconstructions of Bergling's childhood bedroom and Los Angeles mansion, as well as offering recordings of Avicii's most popular work and the ability to remix them, as well as unreleased music. [5] The interactive museum also includes exhibitions from various stages in Bergling's life, including a simulation of the high paced lifestyle he experienced before his retirement from touring in 2016, which are designed to give visitors an understanding of the health issues faced by Bergling. The exhibitions are also dedicated to raising the awareness of mental health problems in young people and the wider music industry. [1] [7]
Nationalarenan, currently known as Friends Arena for sponsorship reasons, is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Stockholm, Sweden. Located next to the lake Råstasjön in Solna, just north of the City Centre, it is the biggest stadium in Scandinavia. Since its opening, the venue has served as Sweden's national stadium for men's football, hence the name Nationalarenan. The main tenants of the stadium are Sweden's men's national football team and Allsvenskan football club AIK; both relocated from their previous home at the Råsunda Stadium. The venue has a total capacity of 65,000 at concerts and 50,000 seated at football matches, but the stadium can be scaled down to provide for smaller events with approximately 20,000 guests.
