A few months ago, while in Melbourne (where I am now too), I missed this exhibit. Fortunately, it didn't move far, and I could catch it while in Sydney the other day, at the Power House museum.

The first thing that really disconcerted me is the way that you are not allowed in the accept until you accep the terms and conditions. Yes, not just the usual small print on the back of your ticket, but you MUST go to a computer and read through and accept all manner of wonderful conditions. I really don't like that sort of thing.
Once inside the exhibit, there is a wonderful collection of memorabilia, outfits, and most importantly, music.
Of course, a bit like looking at only the picures in a book, a lot more can be gained at such an exhibition when you read the plaques that go with. The story is told very well from ABBA participating in the Eurovision song competion, even the lives of the artists before and after ABBA, but what is not clear from the information provided is exactly what went down to cause the group to break up - which I felt was a bit of an ommission.
Overall though, a neat exhibit, assuming you like ABBA - if you don't, you'd best steer well clear of this one. Some pics:
