Located on the Southbank Riverwalk, The Museum of Science and History is the most visited museum in Jacksonville. The MOSH is home to exhibits and hands-on activities with primary focus on educating and entertaining children.

At the MOSH, visitors can take a walk through "The Body Within." Guests step into a huge replica of the human mouth, stroll through the digestive tract and well, the exit is all too obvious. Explore "Water Worlds" in the museum's permanent aquarium exhibit. Take a journey through Jacksonville's history and learn how the city came to be at the "Currents of Time" exhibit. These are but a few of the museum's permanent exhibits.

The MOSH is also home to the Alexander Brest Planetarium. The planetarium has a 60-foot-diameter dome projection screen and a projector capable of producing 8,900 stars. An estimated 60,000 people see the show every year.
