Rugby Art Gallery and Museum - a nationally-recognised collection exploring the Roman past (by means of remains excavated at nearby Tripontium), Rugby's cultural heritage and the great collection of Modern Art.
the James Gilbert Rugby Football Museum, town centre, opposite the main entrance to Rugby School, tel 01788 540 795, open Mo-Sa 9am-5pm, admission free - housed in the building where James Gilbert made the very first rugby football in 1842, this little museum is especially popular with rugby fans. Hand-made balls are still manufactured here and the process may be viewed by visitors from Mondays to Wednesdays.
Rugby School, one of the most famous private schools in the country, is close to the town centre, but not open to the general public. A walk round its perimeter gives an excellent view of its imposing Victorian architecture and also of the field on which the game of rugby football was first played.
