Posthumous
Boehm was accorded its highest honor in 1992 when a wing of the Vatican Museums in Rome was named in his memory. This was the first time in its 500-year history that one of the thirteen museums in the Vatican was named for an American, as the twelve other museums are named for popes and royal families.
