The all-new World Rugby Museum has opened at Twickenham, with over 38,000 exhibits in modern interactive displays for group visitors to explore.
Flexible start times are now available for both group travel organisers and educational visits to the museum, housed in the South Stand at Twickenham Stadium.
The new museum has more than three times as many objects as its predecessor, with memorabilia from around the world and from all eras. The move has also been made in time for the 2018 Six Nations.
Museum Curator, Phil McGowan, says: “The cutting-edge new museum is bigger, better, brighter and more interactive than ever before and will offer groups and educational visitors exciting hands-on interactive exhibits plus events and education and research facilities.
“It houses the world’s most prestigious collection of rugby memorabilia. This includes commentary, film and match-footage from the most iconic moments, memorable tours and greatest players in the history of what is the world’s most dramatic team sport.”
The museum started life as the Museum of Rugby in 1996, rebranding as the World Rugby Museum in 2008.
It can be visited as part of a combined stadium tour and museum package or as a standalone attraction. Group tours are booked on request with flexible start times and operate during museum opening times.
