Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, Styria, Austria
4.5 (124 reviews) Monday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Thal bei Graz Speciality Museums
Charming little museum that should be on a MUST VISIT list for any Arnold or bodybuilding fan!
This is an adorable, well-planned and well-maintained museum giving a pretty good insight of Arnie's early stage of life. It is a tiny mseum (just as you would expect, as it used to be someone's home), right on the outskirts of Graz (20 min taxi from Graz centre, ~25€) and is an absolute must visit place to any Arnold or bodybuilding fans! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Lots of exciting personal items as well as items from movies on display. On our tour in Austria, we visited quite a few museums but this was our absolute favorite because of how intimate and charming it was - no massive crowds, no overwhelming amount of items on display, everything was balanced perfectly and we left with very positive emotions. Thank you so much for an incredible experience we will never forget :)!

Amazing
It was amazing well worth the trip!!! We stayed in veinna and few people said its too far away but if u give yourself plenty of time you'll do it... it's a must! The lady working there knew so much about him and answered all our questions. You can stay in there as long as you like... there also free tea, coffee, hot chocolate and water Here is how we got here We got the train to graz which was 2 hours... but the views on the train is amazing! When we got to graz jump on the 85 bus ( not the 40) the bus stop straight outside the station... stay on the bus till u get to ghosting... it's the last stop only takes 10mins... then get on the 48 Which is the same stop where you get off for the 85 again takes 15 mins.. get off thalersee again last stop.. if your not sure the driver will help... when off the bus walk up the road and you'll see the arnie sign! And boooom it's there. It's a must!!!

Unique museum (+ how to get there by bus)
This is the place to be for Arnold Schwarzenegger fans! The museum is Arnold's old home, some rooms are full of memorabilia (movies, bodybuilding, personal life) while others are decorated the way they were when Arnold lived there. In summertime there are guided tours on weekends, for the rest of the year it's quiet - we had the whole place for ourselves although it was Saturday. Take also a little walk around the neighbourhood (there are some ruins nearby) and in the surroundings of Thalersee. There are a couple of restaurants close to the bus stop and the lake. Some tips about getting to the museum by bus from Graz railway station (more simple than the museum website says): when getting off the train, follow the signs to Waagner-Biro-Straße (if you are in a hurry catching the bus like we were, this is better than going to the front of the station - it takes only a few minutes). When you exit the station following these signs, you'll end up next to the bus stop of line 85. 85 will take you to Gösting (last stop), and if you are lucky to arrive when the timetables match, the bus to Thal (48) is waiting there. Otherwise you'll have to wait some time, but it will leave from the same place where 85 dropped you off. In Thal the "Arnold stop" is Thalersee which is the turning point of this line so it's easy to notice. From there it's a short walk along the shore of Thalersee to the museum.
