Arnold Schwarzenegger's childhood home in Austria has opened as a museum.
阿诺德·施瓦辛格童年时期在奥地利居住的房子被作为一座博物馆。
The family lived in the first floor flat with no electricity or running water
It came as the former Mr Universe, who went on to be a Hollywood star and governor of California, turned 64.

On display at the museum are his childhood bed, a motorbike from one of the Terminator films, some of his first dumb-bells, and a copy of the desk he used as governor of California.
Mr Schwarzenegger left the village of Thal, near the city of Graz, in 1966, but has given the project his blessing.
A plaque(匾) by the door reads "Arnold Schwarzenegger's Birth House Museum," although one of the locals later told me he was born in a nearby hospital.
He lived with his family in the modest first floor flat from his birth in 1947 until 1966 when he left to pursue his dreams of winning the Mr Universe competition.
Pit toilet
It was a humble beginning. The flat had no electricity and no running water.
The museum shows the house's original pit(矿井,深坑) toilet, and a 1950s kitchen, with a washstand and jugs for collecting water.
In one of the rooms, the star's childhood bed is on display. "This is where he first started to dream of success," the curator, Peter Urdl told me.
It was while he was living in Thal, that he first started pumping iron.
As well as trophies and photographs from his early days of bodybuilding, the museum also has some of his first dumb-bells.
And it has his original home work-out machine, a pulley(滑轮) with weights attached which hung in a door frame inside the flat.
The museum charts his obsessive training routine and describes how his success at bodybuilding led him eventually to Hollywood.
And it has a collection of Schwarzenegger movie memorabilia, including a Harley Davidson motorbike from one of the Terminator films and a sword from Conan the Barbarian.
Visitors to the museum can pose next to a life-size model of Arnie as the Terminator.a
