The museum has been open since July, but Friday’s ceremonies will mark the formal inauguration. Schwarzenegger is expected to unveil a bronze statue of himself.

While also known by his more common nicknames, fans in Schwarzenegger’s home province of Styria often call him “The Styrian Oak,” in an allusion to that tree’s toughness.
