May 2025: As Jacksonville experiences a period of dynamic growth, the Museum of Science & History (MOSH) continues to focus its efforts on developing a new state-of-the-art facility that reflects the city’s energy and ambition. The current Museum location will close to the public by September 1, 2025, so that the MOSH organization can fully engage in shaping the vision for the new Museum. 

Groundbreaking for the new Museum is scheduled for 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028. Once open, the new Museum will anchor the Northbank as a premier cultural destination and play a vital role in elevating Jacksonville’s presence on the global stage.

MOSH is part of a bigger transformation taking place across the Northbank shipyards. A new culture and entertainment hub will emerge with projects like the Stadium of the Future, the Four Seasons development and the Emerald Trail expansion reshaping the riverfront. The new Museum will serve as the Northbank’s cultural heartbeat — acting as a community space, educational resource and economic catalyst for Jacksonville’s revitalizing Downtown.
