Arnie's back - in bronze

The Terminator is back in his native Austria to inaugurate a museum devoted to him.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s private jet landed at Graz airport today.

The museum is in the renovated house where he was born in the village of Thal. It chronicles his rise from humble beginnings as a muscular young immigrant to the US to Hollywood action hero to, most recently, California’s governor.

The museum has been open since July, but Friday’s ceremonies will mark the formal inauguration. Schwarzenegger is expected to unveil a bronze statue of himself.

While also known by his more common nicknames, fans in Schwarzenegger’s home province of Styria often call him “The Styrian Oak”, in a reference to that tree’s toughness.
