    I was in doubt what museum can offer but I was nicely surprised! Even if you are not a real fun of Arnie it is nice to get known his life path. Some parts of the house are like mor3e than a half century ago, and the items which resambles about the famoust movies and statues of Arnie are quite inpressive. It is worth to spend more time around as there is a half ruined castle just a short walk away, an inviting lake and golf course.

    Visited the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum in Graz and was thoroughly impressed! The museum offers an insightful journey into the life and career of one of the world's most iconic figures. From his early years in Thal to his rise as a bodybuilding legend, Hollywood superstar, and political leader, each exhibit is thoughtfully curated to provide a comprehensive understanding of his multifaceted life. The interactive displays and memorabilia transported me to the various chapters of his incredible story. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enriching experience. A must-visit for fans and anyone interested in learning about a man who truly embodied the phrase, "I'll be back," in every aspect of his life. A tribute to dedication, discipline, and dream-chasing!

    I decided to go after watching the Arnold documentary on Netflix. Mind you, for such a trip the museum alone is not enough, but i fell in love with Thal, and Thalersee lake. We were there at fall, the colors of forests contrasting green pastures are unreal. The lake, which you can walk all the way around(some 20min) reflects the nature is such a beatifull and calm way. For hikers, bicycle lovers this is a dream come true. Museum is small as the house he lived in, there is a lot movie memorabilia, and a representation of his home at that time which remined me of my own home where my grandparents lived. Everyone knows what this man did but we tend to roll over it and not give it a lot of thought. To be able to do what he did takes a lot of determination and will. Im not his fan, i grew up on his movies as child, but i have the utmost respect for what this man has accomplished in his 76 years of life. Once again - RESPECT!

    A small, charming museum with lots of fun movie memorabilia and photos, the Schwarzenegger Museum gives visitors an inside look into Arnold’s early life, inspiration, movie and political career. My family really enjoyed the snapshots, local background info and movie props as they offered insight into how Schwarzenegger grew into the icon America has come to love. Thal is also a lovely village surrounded by green fields and hills, it’s a very comfortable trip from Graz!

    Nice and cozy museum to see if you are near Graz. For the whole museum you need up to 45 minutes. The nearby area is also nice for walking. I suggest to see the lake Thalersee after the visit.

    The man, the myth ! I am not sure I ever been in the museum dedicated to the living person. As Arnold is one of most inspirational persons I did not hesitate visiting this place. For 11.90 eur it is not enough. Specially, ehen selling expensive few things. Feels like a place not motivated keeping up and more like money grab. Interesting enough though so 3 stars. But not enough to see or to feel the journey. More like jumping between early years, terminator and guvernor years.

    If you ever been interested in Arnold's life and you have chance to visit his house, just do it.

  • 5/5 KMENYUS 6 months ago on Google
    It's a nice and huge collection of Arnie's life. The museum has got three main exhibition areas in the different rooms showing the different periods of his career: sportsman, actor and governor. However the documents and the exhibited objects are mixed up a bit. You can have a short visit as myself, then you will run through, learn a bit about him and will spend about an hour there. Should you have more time or more interesred in then you can spend hours there to read more documents. It was good experience and a must to visit place if you're a fan of Arnie. Good location, parking is easy, nice environment, friendly staff.

    As a huge Arnold fan, the trip to the museum and the museum itself was a treat! It is found in Thal, Arnold's birth village, and the road to Thal from Graz is an experience in itself. The nature is picturesque and the Stryian countryside is magical on its own. The museum itself holds an impressive collection of Arnie's memorabila, ranging from old workout equipment, vintage never before seen photographs, movie costumes and replicas and even the motorbike used in the original T1! Also, the museum traces the evolution of Arnold himself, from his bodybuilding days, acting and his accomplishments in politics. A must visit destination for anyone who is a fan, but even if you're not the museum is worth experiencing for the amazingly beautiful nature around it.

    If you are his fan, you absolutely must visit this place. If you are not, it is even more necessary that you come here and get inspired and think about how much one man can achieve in life.

    If you happen to be in Graz and have a car, this is a must visit. There is a super collection of photos, items and information. It is remarkable how it all started, real inspirational stuff. The staff are excellent and if you don't speak German they do perfect English.

  • 4/5 Vitaliy L. 9 months ago on Google
    It’s a cool place to visit just to take a picture with the statue outside, but the entrance price is quite high for such a small museum (only for die-hard fans). You can visit a ‘proper’ large art museum elsewhere for similar price

  • 5/5 Showan B. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice experience for Arnold fans to visit his birth place. Nice small museum with a lot of displays documenting Arnold's career.

  • 4/5 A. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great history piece with a lot of Arnold's personal items. It's crazy we're actually walking through his house admiring all that. A must visit. Reasons I gave 4 stars is because there aren't many interesting things to buy in the museum shop, it would be 5 stars otherwise.

    It was a great tour. Thank you, Mr. Peter for kindness and very nice tour across all museum.

  • 5/5 Ilie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place to visit, a living legend museum. Also, try to visit thalersee afterwards which is near. But strictly of museum, it s a must go if you are in Graz.

  • 4/5 Hasse H. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice museum, it has information and original items from all stages of Arnolds life. It was very cool to see the old weights he had worked out with, as well as his old bed and the bike from terminator. One drawback was that it lacked a bit in the souvenir shop. The items had the brand name with too big font size, it makes Arnold less of a centerpoint in the item.

  • 5/5 Tathi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely recommend. The house shows a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger's trajectory, fascinating. The village of Thal is very beautiful, we came by car, I recommend to visit the region.
