We were happy to take up this message! We welcome visitors from all over the world and we also have #PlaceForAll. During the school holidays, Magdalena, Bianca and Hannah designed two more flag banks for us. Thank you very much for your great work!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is also very proud of the great work and emphasizes: “There is #PlaceForAll in our museum, and I promise: I’ll be back!”

Along with his daughter Christina and some close friends, Arnold visited his hometown on March, 24, 2017.

His visit was not announced, as it is often the case. Approximately two hours prior the museum staff was informed about this visit. Arnold travelled to his home country, because of the closing ceremony of the Special Olympics in Graz that was scheduled on March, 25, 2017.
Despite the spontaneous nature of his visit, word of mouth spread and media representatives as well as fans flocked to Thal.

Even though Arnold was protected by bodyguards the atmosphere was quite casual and he took his time to show his daughter his museum. For Christina it was the first visit and she was impressed by the history of her father and numerous exhibits
