“The Governator” will inaugurate a museum dedicated to himself in Austria tomorrow.

According to The Associated Press, the museum is located in his renovated house of his birth in the village of Thal.  It displays Arnold Schwarzenegger’s journey from a young, muscular U.S. immigrant to a Hollywood movie star and then to governor of California. 

While the museum opened in July, Schwarzenegger will reveal a bronze statue of himself in a formal inauguration ceremony Friday. 

Schwarzenegger’s fans in Styria, his home province, have nicknamed him “The Styrian Oak,” comparing him to the sturdy and tough tree.
