Can you feel the spark of curiosity in the air? Right here at the Museum of Science & Industry, or MOSI as the locals call it, that spark ignites into a flame. MOSI stands as a testament to the power of innovation. It’s a place where science, technology, and imagination collide. The story of MOSI begins in 1962, much earlier than you’d think, as a humble youth museum nestled in Sulphur Springs. Originally called the Museum of Science and Natural History, it focused on bringing the wonders of nature to the community. MOSI moved to its current location in North Tampa in 1980, becoming the Museum of Science & Industry in 1982. Over the years, MOSI continued to grow, adding incredible features like the Saunders Planetarium in 1992 and Florida’s only IMAX Dome Theatre (now closed) in a groundbreaking 1993 expansion. MOSI isn’t just a museum. It’s a scientific playground. With over 40,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits, there’s something to pique everyone’s interest. You can lie on a bed of nails, explore optical illusions, and even take a journey through a simulated lunar colony in Mission: Moonbase. Did you know MOSI was once the 5th largest science center in the United States? Today, MOSI’s mission is to be the nexus of science, technology, and innovation in the Tampa Bay region. It is a place where conversations spark new ideas, learning thrives, and knowledge is shared. So, step inside MOSI and let your curiosity be your guide. Discover the wonders that await, from the smallest butterfly to the vastness of space. MOSI is more than a museum. It’s an experience that will leave you inspired and filled with wonder.
