ArtDayME: Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Prix Versailles highlights museums that exemplify creativity, heritage reflection, and ecological efficiency.

The Oman Across Ages Museum (OAAM) joins an elite list of seven newly opened or reopened museums worldwide, recognized for their extraordinary impact on their environments. These museums are celebrated for seamlessly integrating local heritage with modern design and ecological considerations.

The selected museums, including the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza and the Polish History Museum in Warsaw, will compete for three coveted 2024 World Titles: Prix Versailles, Interior, and Exterior, with the winners to be announced at UNESCO Headquarters in late November.
