Museum of Rugby, Twickenham, London

Twickenham Stadium from Richmond Hill

The Museum of Rugby at Twickenham can be found at Twickenham Stadium in Richmond. Entry to the museum is through one of the original Twickenham turnstiles. The museum claims to have the largest collection of rugby memorabilia in the world. Twickenham's collection includes an England jersey from the first international match, held in 1871, between England and Scotland. As is the case today, that first England jersey was white, with a red rose. The Calcutta Cup, which is awarded to winners of the annual England against Scotland game is also on display.

Many of the exhibits are interactive. You will be able have a go at a scrum machine, to see how you'd measure up as a forward.
