MOSH hits $100M fundraising mark; $50M still sought

The Museum of Science History has raised over $100 million toward its planned new museum on the city’s Northbank. An additional $50 million needs to be raised, but MOSH officials said the museum will be built as the last third of funding is sought. Groundbreaking is expected in early 2027. The $100 million figure is the largest cultural capital campaign in Jacksonville’s history, museum officials said this week. In a news release, museum board chairperson Jill Davis said that achieving the milestone is a reflection of the community s confidence in MOSH s future. “From business leaders and philanthropic partners to families who have supported this vision, the generosity behind this campaign has been extraordinary, said Davis, who is also co-chair of the fundraising campaign. “Reaching $100 million demonstrates what Jacksonville can accomplish when we come together around a shared vision, and we look forward to building on this momentum.” Demolition started in early sum
