Sweden’s ABBA museum to open, but reunion rumours quashed

STOCKHOLM, May 6 (Reuters) – The catchy tunes, outlandish

all feature in a new museum dedicated to the band, but rumours
the exhibition may presage a reunion by Sweden’s most famous
export were quickly quashed.

The permanent exhibition within a hall of fame of Swedish

attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually on a pop
nostalgia trip.

The statement by Greenland’s new coalition led by the Siumut
party underscores the possibility of a more difficult investment
climate for foreign companies eager to exploit the country’s
largely untapped mineral and oil resources.
