Though the doors to our old Museum closed in late 2025, a transformative new Museum is coming to Downtown Jacksonville.

We are proud to announce a $1 million gift from The Players Championship in support of the Museum of Science & History’s new home on the Northbank of the St. Johns River.

This generous contribution will support the development of a lead exhibit exploring the science, skill, and art of golf, connecting visitors to a sport deeply rooted in Northeast Florida.

“Innovation is part of The Players’ DNA, but so is giving back to the community,” said Lee Smith, Vice President, The Players Championship and TPC Sawgrass. “We're proud to partner with the Museum of Science & History on a project that will create a lasting asset for Northeast Florida, deepen The Players’ connection to downtown Jacksonville and provide families with a new way to engage with the championship year-round.”

We are grateful to The Players Championship for their continued commitment to our community and for helping bring the future Museum to life! Head to our website for the full announcement: https://bit.ly/4ygUkVv

Happy World Rivers Day! 🌊

There is a lot to discover beneath the surface of Jacksonville’s most recognizable natural feature, the St. Johns River.

Our team recently joined Jimmy Orth, Executive Director of St. Johns Riverkeeper, to explore how the river shapes our community, supports local wildlife and connects us to the natural environment around us.

Did you know that downtown Jacksonville sits along an estuary? Here, freshwater from the St. Johns meets saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean, creating a brackish ecosystem that provides habitat for dolphins, sharks, crabs, shrimp, sea turtles and many other species.

Understanding our river is an important part of protecting it! Learn more about the St. Johns River and how you can help care for this incredible resource ➡️ https://bit.ly/4d6spA1

As we reflect on 85 years of impact, we are reminded that the true magic has always been our guests and their experiences that brought the Museum of Science & History to life.

That connection has been the thread linking every chapter of our story. From our earliest days in Riverside, through decades on the Southbank, and into our future home across the St. Johns River, we'll keep sparking wonder and igniting curiosity in every person who walks through our doors.

We are building a new world-class museum for you, designed to inspire future generations of explorers, dreamers and innovators, filled with immersive experiences and opportunities for discovery at every age.

Generations of families have created lasting memories at the Museum, and we look forward to many more! Drop your favorite Museum memory below ⬇️. What experience has stayed with you the most?

By age 5, a child's brain is already 90% developed, which is why early learning matters so much.

We're grateful to share that PNC is deepening its commitment to the Museum of Science & History with an additional $500,000 investment, bringing their total support to $1 million. This gift will expand our early learning programs and create a dedicated Early Learning Pathway designed just for our youngest visitors.

Hear from Chris Kalin, PNC Regional President for North Florida and a proud Museum Board of Trustees member, on why investing in Jacksonville's next generation matters, and what we're building together.

Thank you, PNC, for helping bring science, history, and discovery to life for every child in our community!
