Special Exhibitions – May 09 – September 09
Off the Wall
Treasures from Twickenham Stadium’s World Rugby Museum poster collection will be on display in a temporary exhibition that opened on May 1, 2009.
From its earliest days, rugby has inspired artists and graphic designers. This display brings together the finest examples of rugby-related work from around the world.
Highlights include Dame Laura Knight’s original artwork for the famous London Transport ‘Rugby at Twickenham by Tram’ poster; an advertisement for ‘Dandy Shandy’ and a 103-year-old poster advertising a match on the groundbreaking All Blacks tour of 1905.
The posters also commemorate occasions when world events have impacted on rugby. A World War I recruitment poster is a moving reminder of the rugby players who lost their lives in the conflict, whilst a French poster calls for supporters to boycott the 1970 Springboks tour in response to South Africa’s apartheid regime.
By reliving memorable matches and tours throughout the decades, the collection reflects the development of the game at all levels and offers the chance to reminisce with a light-hearted look at the fashions and hairstyles of old.
