A new interactive museum opened in Stockholm on Saturday in memory of Swedish star DJ Avicii.

Avicci, whose real name was Tim Bergling, died by suicide four years ago while on a vacation in Oman at the age of 28. In his brief yet illustrious career, he made several popular songs like ‘The Night, ‘Hey Brother’, and ‘Wake Me Up’.

The museum, named ‘Avicii Experience’, will offer an insight into the artist’s life and work. Visitors will be able to see his photos, videos, private possessions, and also listen to unreleased music from the Swedish DJ. Even his childhood bedroom, where he first started mixing tunes at the age of 16, and his studio, has also been recreated, according to a DW report.

Per Sundin, co-founder of the museum, told DW, “You can go into the studio where he recorded all his big songs and into his house in Los Angeles with virtual reality glasses.”

“There are also videos and interviews with Tim. We have a couple of songs from demos and you can hear how they sounded before the producers finished them,” added Sundin.

The virtual studio will also allow people to record their own version of the song ‘Wake Me Up’. 

Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden had attended the opening of the museum early this week. The royal couple had even attended a tribute concert in 2019 – proceeds from which went to mental health charities.

After the announcement of his death, they had released a statement saying, “We are grateful that we got to know him. He made our wedding unforgettable with his amazing music,” according to a Daily Mail report.

Born in 1980 in Stockholm, Avicii started mixing tunes in his bedroom by the time he was 16. He , however, rose to prominence in 2011 with the release of dance anthem ‘Levels’. As per reports, the artist performed an estimated 220 sets globally from 2011 to 2016. He won multiple awards including Swedish Grammis Awards for Best Innovator (2012) and Best Artist (2014), as well as a World Music Award for Best Electronic Dance Artist (2014).

“I will never forget when Tim played in a park called Strömparterren in Stockholm in the early days of his career. He’d told me explicitly to not come — maybe because it wasn’t very cool to have your father around at that age — but I went anyway and hid behind a tree. It was a great evening and I remember feeling surprised, amazed and very proud. When I came to find him backstage afterwards, he was so glad I came,” Avicii’s father Klas, as per reports, recalls.
