All Blacks Museum to be relocated

New Zealand's national rugby museum is to be relocated in time for the country's 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The Rugby Museum, which is currently situated in the central North Island city of Palmerston North, will be rehoused in a new wing that is being added to Te Manawa, the city's main museum gallery.
The current museum already boasts 30,000 items including memorabilia and artefacts dating back to when the game was first played in New Zealand in 1870.
More than 30 themed displays include personal playing and touring uniforms, scrapbooks, photographs and programmes from international players and administrators dating back to the 1880s.
Work is scheduled to begin early in the next year to be completed in January 2011.
