Brief description

"A purpose-built rugby union stadium: the Rugby Football Union (RFU), English rugby union governing body, owns and holds its headquarters at the stadium. The most notable tenant is the England national rugby union team, hosting its home test matches at the stadium.  It is the world‘s largest rugby union-specific stadium, the second largest in the United Kingdom behind Wembley Stadium, and the fourth largest in Europe."

"WORLD RUGBY MUSEUM & TWICKENHAM STADIUM TOURS: https://www.twickenhamstadium.com/museum-and-tours 

The World Rugby Museum tells the story of rugby from around the world, following the game's history from its origins to the present day. The galleries showcase the most extensive collection of rugby football memorabilia in the world from the RFU Collection and Harry Langton Collection and the RFU Rugby Archive. Highlights include the world's oldest international football jersey from England's first match in 1871 and the Calcutta Cup, the world's oldest international football trophy. Visitors also have the opportunity through interactive displays to find out 'What Kind of Rugby Player' they are in the Play Rugby Zone, test out their commenting skills in the Commentary Booth and to choose their World XV.

The Twickenham Stadium tour takes you behind the scenes and into some memorable and prestigious areas including the Royal Box, England Changing Room where you will learn about the match-day preparations and routines of international rugby players and Players Tunnel where you can run out onto pitch-side surrounded by 82,000 seats, before finishing your visit with the World Rugby Museum."
