Artena. Museum of Rugby Mud and Sweat

The Museum of Rugby Mud and Sweat is one of the most important in the world and is located in a palace in the historical center of Artena.

It was established in 2012 by a group of enthusiasts including major players of the Italian national team.

The museum houses over 1,500 jerseys worn by leading players from around the world plus over 15,000 memorabilia.

A section of the museum is constantly on tour in Italy and abroad to promote the sport and culture of Rugby.

A part of the Museum's collection was exhibited in London during the Rugby World Cup.

The museum works closely with the other museums around the world and receives international delegations such as the visit of the director of the Museum dedicated to the New Zealand All Blacks.
