Arlington's National Medal of Honor Museum Voted Among the World's Most Beautiful

The National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, opened in 2025 and was named one of the seven world’s most beautiful museums on Prix Versailles' 2026 list—the only museum in the Western Hemisphere on the roster. Prix Versailles praised its design as inseparable from its mission, featuring a steel-clad Exhibition Hall hung over a landscaped Field of Honor, five megacolumns representing the U.S. Armed Forces, and abundant natural light via an oculus. The museum, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, offers general admission with various experiences; the full 2026 list includes institutions in Abu Dhabi, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tokyo, Šeduva (Lithuania), and Tashkent.
