MOSH Announces New Location in Jacksonville as Part of Northbank Riverfront Transformation

The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) is closing its doors on September 1, 2025, but it’s not saying goodbye — it’s moving forward. MOSH has officially announced plans to relocate to a new state-of-the-art facility along the Northbank riverfront in Downtown Jacksonville, marking the beginning of an exciting new era known as MOSH Genesis.

A Bold New Chapter: MOSH Genesis

As Jacksonville undergoes one of the most ambitious revitalizations in its history, MOSH is aligning its future with the city’s momentum. The current museum will close to the public by September 1, 2025, to allow the organization to fully focus on shaping its new home — a project already backed by over $95 million in public and private funding, as well as unanimous support from the Mayor and City Council.

The new museum will be located in Lot X of the Jacksonville Shipyards — part of a massive redevelopment effort that includes the future Four Seasons Hotel, the Stadium of the Future, and the Emerald Trail expansion. Collectively, these projects are turning the Northbank into a premier cultural and entertainment hub.

What to Expect at MOSH’s New Location

The upcoming facility is being designed to redefine what a museum can be, offering more than just exhibitions. Highlights of MOSH’s new location in Jacksonville include:

• 105,000 square feet of interactive science and history exhibits
• Seven acres of immersive indoor-outdoor learning environments
• Discovery labs, waterfront experiences, and innovative educational programs
• A seamless blend of museum, park, and riverfront for all ages to enjoy

According to MOSH CEO Dr. Alistair Dove, “This new museum will become a defining regional landmark — a cultural destination that fuels civic pride and lifelong learning.”

Timeline and Community Impact

• 🗓 Museum Closure: September 1, 2025

While construction is underway, MOSH will remain active throughout Jacksonville by hosting pop-up experiences, educational events, and community partnerships to ensure it continues to serve Northeast Florida residents and visitors.

More Than a Museum — A Cultural Catalyst

Since its founding in 1941, MOSH has adapted with the city — and its next evolution promises to be its most transformative yet. The new facility is expected to triple annual visitation, strengthen the local economy, and establish Downtown Jacksonville as a cultural destination on the global stage.

As a cornerstone of the Northbank’s rebirth, MOSH Genesis symbolizes more than just relocation. It’s about legacy, learning, and launching Jacksonville’s cultural future.
