Rafael Viñoly Architects has designed the National Medal of Honor Museum in Texas, United States.

Located in Arlington, the 9,476-square-metre National Medal of Honor Museum is a bold civic landmark honouring recipients of the nation's highest military award for valour.

Its defining architectural gesture, a monumental steel-clad exhibition hall suspended 40 feet above a landscaped 'Field of Honor', symbolises the burden and strength of heroism.

Immersive exhibitions, interactive experiences, gathering spaces and educational programs invite visitors to reflect on courage, sacrifice, integrity, citizenship and service.

Connected to Arlington's park and the Entertainment District, the museum redefines how architecture can embody shared national values while inspiring future generations through storytelling, reflection, public engagement and civic engagement.
