I have seen firsthand the power that a museum has to transform and inspire the world around us. When my three boys were young, we spent countless hours at the Museum of Science & History — zigging and zagging through the Currents of Time exhibit, hiding in the treehouse and playing at the water table, always asking for “just five more minutes, mom.”
In 2020, I accepted the challenge to chair the newly formed MOSH Genesis Capital Campaign cabinet, which is raising private capital and public support for a new location at the Shipyards. This project will bring smart growth to Jacksonville and positively impact Downtown. By year three of operation, the new MOSH will attract an estimated 500,000 or more visitors and tourists alike to Downtown Jacksonville, which will support the ongoing growth and development of our riverfront.
MOSH Genesis is the foundation for a public-private partnership that will benefit all communities of Jacksonville. Our progress to date would not be possible without the support of our generous MOSH donors, Mayor Lenny Curry, the Downtown Investment Authority and the City Council. As we look to the future, we ask longtime advocates and new friends of MOSH to support us with donations and a call to action.
