Austria

Former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger flew to Idaho to take a look at a larger than life sculpture of himself in the height of his bodybuilding days. Artist Ralph Crawford wanted Arnold’s approval before it’s cast from clay to bronze and shipped to Arnold’s hometown in Graz, Austria. Arnold asked for only a few minor changes before he signed off on the statue. It will be planted in the front yard of Arnold’s childhood home, which has been turned into a museum by fans there. Arnold remains Graz’s most famous local boy who made good.
