Mission MOSI is a not-for-profit, community-based institution and educational resource that is dedicated to advancing public interest, knowledge, and understanding of science, industry, and technology. MOSI's core ideology is to make
a
difference
in
people's
lives
by
making
science
real
for
people
of
all
ages
and
backgrounds.
History
MOSI
today
is
the
result
of
37
years
of
growth
and
maturity
reflecting
both
the
institution
and
the
surrounding
community.
The
passage
of
time
has
seen
MOSI
change
in
name,
location,
and
size.
However,
its
general
purpose,
that
of
providing
informal
science
education,
has
remained
essentially
unchanged.
In
1962,
Hillsborough
County
first
approved
jurisdiction
and
funding
for
a
youth
museum.
Later
renamed
the
Museum
of
Science
and
Natural
History,
this
small
museum
provided
natural
science
exhibits
and
education
programs
to
children
and
adults.
In
1967,
the
name
of
the
Museum
was
changed
to
the
Hillsborough
County
Museum.
The
fledgling
institution
continued
to
expand
its
programs
and,
in
1972,
hired
its
first
professional
director.
In
1976,
the
Museum's
advisory
committee
and
staff,
committed
to
providing
an
exceptional
science
education
experience,
obtained
the
funding
and
land
to
construct
an
innovative
and
unique
museum
structure
that
was
to
become
the
Museum
of
Science
&
Industry.
A
new
director
and
key
professional
staff
were
hired
to
focus
MOSI's
direction
and
purpose
as
construction
proceeded.
Relying
on
the
valuable
history
of
its
predecessor
museums,
MOSI
staff
took
advantage
of
the
scientific
and
technological
growth
occurring
in
Tampa
and
at
the
neighboring
University
of
South
Florida
(USF),
to
design
a
visionary,
high-tech
facility.
Since
the
opening
of
the
original
structure
in
1982,
MOSI
has
provided
public
programs
and
exhibits
which
support
its
mission
and
seek
to
meet
the
identified
needs
of
a
growing
and
vibrant
community.
