 Victory Begins at Home: Florida During World War IIOctober 1, 2010 - July 8, 2012 Like the rest of the nation, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, evoked feelings of shock and outrage and inspired pride and volunteerism among the citizens of Florida as they made themselves readily available to their nation. Victory Begins at Home: Florida During World War II details the legacy of Florida’s participation in the war and brings the homefront to life through first-hand accounts and rare WWII-era objects from the collections of MOSH, the Jacksonville Historical Society and Guest Curator Stephen Cargile.

Strange MatterNovember 11, 2011 - May 13, 2012 This hands-on exhibit delves into the world of materials science, or the study of “stuff.” A dynamic blend of physics, chemistry and engineering, this field of research studies how things are put together, how they might be improved, or how they can change to create brand new materials. From metals to crystals to magnets to glass, Strange Matter will give visitors the chance to dig into the science behind the materials they use every day. Strange Matter uses science to explore the bizarre world of modern materials and provide a glimpse into where the future might take us. Click here for more information. |
