Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, Biographical museum in Thal, Austria.
The Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum occupies his former childhood home and displays items from his years as a bodybuilder, film actor, and politician. Rooms contain personal belongings, film props, and objects spanning different phases of his career and life.
The building began as a police station before being purchased and renovated to become a museum in 2011. An investor undertook the transformation to preserve and share the story of this local person's rise to prominence.
The place celebrates a local figure whose journey from this small village captured the world's attention, and visitors encounter personal items that show how ambition transformed a life starting from modest roots. The exhibition reflects how one person's achievements became a source of regional pride.
The museum is easier to visit during warmer months, with different opening hours depending on the season. Visitors should check in advance which days and hours the exhibition is accessible.
Life-sized figures recreate scenes from famous films, making the exhibition interactive and entertaining for visitors. A special highlight includes an original robot from a well-known film series that guests can see directly.
