The building concept is inspired by the movement and flow of the water that has played such an important role in the history of Jacksonville. Its unique form extends toward the city, creating a front porch for those arriving to the museum while the south cantilever provides covered areas to watch and participate in events along the waterfront. A spiral circulation path links the lower level to a roof terrace above and fluidly connects three themed exhibition spaces that are central to the MOSH mission: the Natural Ecosystem, the Cultural Ecosystem and the Innovation Ecosystem. A sheltered rooftop event terrace overlooking the river offers a 360-degree view of Downtown Jacksonville, including TIAA Bank Field and the Southbank skyline.
