Rome museums free for Six Nations ticket-holders

Rugby and culture at weekends of Six Nations games in Rome.

Ticket holders of the two Six Nations rugby matches scheduled at the Olympic Stadium will be entitled to free admission for two people to around 25 state and city museums during the weekends of the two games: England (4 Feb at 16.00) and Scotland (17 March at 13.30).
Titled IV Tempo Rugby e Cultura, the Rome museum initiative is the result of a long-term agreement between the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR) and Italy's culture ministry, and this year sees the involvement of the city.
FIR president Alfredo Gavazzi describes the initiative as a “splendid opportunity” for rugby fans, particularly families, while culture minister Dario Franceschini says the Six Nations provides the chance to promote “the treasures of Italian art.”
The museums involved in IV Tempo Rugby e Cultura, whose title is a play on the “third half” so beloved of rugby fans, runs from Friday to Sunday on each of the two match-weekends: 2, 3 and 4 February and 16, 17 and 18 March. The participating museums, along with their addresses and opening times, are published below.
