celeb news of the week: Arnold Schwarzenegger museum opens in Austria

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnie will just have to make do with this until the Arnold Schwarzenegger Presidential Library opens in 2023. From Gadling:

Arnold Schwarzenegger's childhood home has opened as a museum in Thal, Austria.

Arnie grew up in modest circumstances--his home didn't have running water or electricity. Despite these limitations, he started pumping up at an early age and his bedroom displays some of his exercise equipment. This dedication eventually led him to becoming Mr. Universe. There are also mementos from his movie career like Conan's sword and a couple of statues from the Terminator movies. Another section documents his time as governor of California.

Emphasis mine. See, the presidential mythmaking is already beginning. Arnie is just like Abe Lincoln. Only on steroids. Even Ronald Reagan didn’t have to get an amendment to the Constitution pushed through so that he could become President.

Visit the museum’s official site. Be sure to note the prominent campaign logo that dominates the site.
