An 8-foot-tall bronze sculpture of the musclebound bodybuilder-actor-politician, erected in 2012, commemorates his 1970 Mr. World title at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium. The Auditorium was bulldozed in 2014; statue moved downtown.
Statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Recent pilgrimage to the statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Columbus, Ohio.
Schwarzenegger was Pro Mr. World there in 1970 (the statue pose is a larger-than-life Arnold as Mr. Olympia). The Arnold Sports Festival endures as an annual professional bodybuilders event in Columbus.
Statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger
In 1970, Arnold Schwarzenegger won the body-building title of "Mr. World" at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio. In 2012, Arnold returned to Veterans Memorial, now remodeled as an event center, and unveiled an 8-foot-tall, 600 pound bronze statue of himself -- an exact copy of a statue installed only a couple of months earlier at the Schwarzenegger Museum in Austria. It depicts Arnold at the bulky apex of his body-building career, every muscle defined, biceps bulging, and in tiny tights as he flexes for the traffic driving past on US 40.
The statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger is installed in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The bronze sculpture was originally installed outside the Franklin County Veterans Memorial in 2012, before being relocated and rededicated outside the Greater Columbus Convention Center in 2014. Schwarzenegger, Governor John Kasich, and Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman attended the ceremony.
