After considering relocating elsewhere, MOSH decided to stay put and expand on its 15-acre site in the Southbank area. Planning for the expansion began in 2013. “Because of the age of the building and how it was designed, we’re limited in our ability to be innovative.” “We’re at capacity,” says MOSH President Maria Hane. Several years ago, MOSH missed out on hosting the exhibit because of a lack of space. In March, the museum unveiled plans for an $80-million expansion and renovation.ĭubbed MOSH 2.0, the plan includes a new planetarium, interactive learning area for children, innovation labs and co-working space, a rooftop conference center and more room for temporary exhibits such as “Bodies,” a traveling display of preserved cadavers and body parts. In 2017, the museum hosted about 230,000 visitors, more than half of whom were adults without children. Johns River, the museum expanded and added programs to appeal to adults as well as children. After moving to its current location near the south bank of the St. In 1941, Jacksonville’s Museum of Science and History opened as a children’s museum in the city’s Riverside neighborhood. MOSH’s expansion plans call for taking advantage of its location near the river.
