Twickenham Stadium is the biggest dedicated rugby stadium in the world, but it is also home to the biggest collection of rugby memoribilia in the world. Previously known as the Museum of Rugby, the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham is open six days a week including match days.

The museum houses thousands of items relating to the sport of rugby union from the replica of the Webb Ellis trophy won by England in 2003, to the first ever England jersey worn in 1871. >From the famous Calcutta Cup trophy to the match ball used in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, to the original documents relating to the purchase of the land over 100 years ago when the stadium was nothing more than a cabbage patch, you are sure to find something of interest at the museum.

The museum has a number of interactive exhibits from scrum machines to World Cup video screens, and includes a state of the art film theatre showing highlights and special moments from the history of the game.

The World Rugby Museum also hosts a number of special exhibitions throughout the year and is currently showcasing a Harlequins at HQ collection investigating the special relationship between the Harlequins club and the stadium.
