MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) has a long history of providing quality STEAM Education in the Tampa Bay community.

Founded in 1962, MOSI was originally named the Museum of Science and Natural History and located in Sulphur Springs on the banks of the Hillsborough River. The museum provided natural science exhibits and education programs to children and adults.

Many Hillsborough County Public School students visited the museum yearly on field trips. In 1976, the museum’s advisory committee and staff started construction on a new museum in North Tampa that was to become the Museum of Science & Industry. The museum was completed in 1980 and permanently opened in its current location to the public Jan. 23, 1982.

In 1995, construction of the 190,000-square-foot science center with Florida’s only IMAX Dome Theatre, extensive permanent and temporary exhibition galleries, a planetarium and a public library was completed. In July 2005, MOSI’s Kid’s in Charge opened to the public. In 2017 MOSI downsized the museum in order to stay sustainable for many more years to come!
