Well worth the visit
Hosted by Graeme who spoke very knowledgeable about the museum, rugby history and a few funny stories. Only goes up to 2011 as due to lockdown they weren’t able to install the later years. I understand it’s on the way soon so we will go back. They have something like 40,000 items of memorabilia. The tackle bags need fixing as does the sprint timer, hope this gets done soon so we can test it properly next visit.

Must go to for every fan!
This lovely museum holds over 40.000 rugby related items. A selection is on display and from that immaculate display the passion for the sport, players and it’s history is eminent. If you add the effort the community of Palmerston North and the volunteers put in, you’ll end up with an absolute lovely museum that is a must go to for every rugby fan.
