Think back to the exhilaration you felt the first time you visited a museum. As you approached the building, the anticipation of unknown discoveries quickened your pace. Your eyes raced over every surface.
Everything was new.
Even better: everything was possible.
The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) links present-day Jacksonville to a dynamic vision of what is to come. MOSH Genesis, a destination for lifelong learning, will deliver a new museum experience that evokes that sense of excitement for all guests — whether it is their first visit or their fiftieth.

Recent independent, community-based studies have revealed consensus and validation for MOSH’s plan to envision a future beyond our current building. The size and configuration of our decades-old campus critically limit the Museum’s ability to achieve its mission and serve a growing community of learners. Growing demand for service places considerable strain on our building, and previous plans to renovate the existing structure revealed significant operational and construction challenges. Building a new facility on the Northbank will allow us to present the kinds of exhibits that engage members and visitors of all ages while contributing to a thriving sports and entertainment district.
