National Medal of Honor Museum Named to Prix Versailles 2026 World’s Most Beautiful Museums List

The National Medal of Honor Museum has been named to the World’s Most Beautiful Museums List 2026 by Prix Versailles, an international awards program that honors institutions whose architecture tells a powerful story—where harmony, sensitivity, and shared purpose are revealed through intentional design. The Museum is one of just seven institutions honored globally, and the only one representing the Western Hemisphere.

“From the first foundation to the final finishes, every member of our team understood that we were doing more than just constructing a building; we were providing a home where the stories of the courage and sacrifice of America’s most cherished heroes will live on for generations,” said Tommy Cole, President at Linbeck. “To see that work recognized by Prix Versailles is a profound honor, and a testament to the extraordinary collaboration between the Museum, Rafael Viñoly Architects, and every craftsman who brought this vision to life.”

Linbeck is humbled to have taken part in building this special museum and is in awe of the ways it continues to engage, inspire, and unite our community and the nation it serves.
