Waterloo Station: Abba Exhibit Explores Band's 1970s Rise

Abba: Super Troupers includes reconstructions of the hotel room in England where band members stayed after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo," a '70s recording studio and a typically drab British living room of the era. Ulvaeus said Wednesday that a television set in the exhibit "showed footage from 1973-74, how the Brits were hesitant about Europe back then, in the very same way as they are now, which is really sad, I think.
