The museum dedicated to DJ Avicii has opened in Stockholm

"He's been with me forever.

Four years after the suicide of the young Swedish DJ, a museum in tribute to Avicii was inaugurated on Saturday in Stockholm.

Considered one of the best DJs in the world until his tragic death at 28, Tim Berling – his real name – left several global hits, including “Wake Me Up” with singer Aloe Blacc in 2013.

Called “Avicii Experience”, the museum is located in the basement of a modern building in the center of Stockholm.

In particular, it houses a reproduction of his teenage bedroom with personal items, such as a self-portrait in colored pencil, and a computer station running with the game World of Warcraft.

As well as a reproduction of his Los Angeles studio with his personal guitars.

The Avicii Experience tribute museum opened today in Stockholm.

An “immersive” room to turn into a DJ

"He's been with me forever.

The least I could do was pay homage to him and be the first person to come here,” 26-year-old fan Amanda Ekstedt explained during her visit.

The museum also includes an “immersive” room so that visitors can get behind the decks and experience a concert.

A room lined with mirrors and screens broadcasts a jerky montage of videos of concerts, crowds, planes to evoke the intensity of the artist's life and the pressure to which he was subjected – his death had made it possible to bring up the sore subject of depression in young people.

"There's also a subtle message that is 'all that glitters isn't all you want in life' and so you have to be careful," said Amapola Fairtlough, a 46-year-old visitor who came with her teenage son and Avicii fan.

A psychologist is present for the first weeks following the opening to support fans who are overwhelmed by emotion.

"The story of Tim Avicii has a very sad and dark side," said Lisa Halling-Aadland, one of the museum's managers, "so it was important that we had people here who could manage when needed."
