The highly anticipated National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, TX, will officially open its doors to the public on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and constructed by Linbeck Group LLC, this remarkable 130,000-square-foot facility stands as a noteworthy tribute to the Medal of Honor and its distinguished recipients.
The upper facility spans 200 by 200 feet, and it is elegantly supported by five 40-foot-tall precast columns, which not only provide essential structural support but also creatively represent the Medal of Honor in a star formation. Each column tapers from 12 feet 4 inches wide at the base to 5 feet across at the top and features a 2- by 3-foot door at its base to allow maintenance access.
