JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) announced plans to build a new museum at the Shipyards property on the Northbank of Downtown Jacksonville, a release said. The new facility would replace current plans to renovate and expand the Museumโs existing building. โThe presentation of a new site option at the Shipyards property provides an exciting opportunity to reconsider how we will serve Northeast Floridaโs citizens and visitors in the years ahead.โMuseum leaders anticipate pre-construction activity could begin in 2021.
