About Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville

MOCA Jacksonville began in 1924 as the city's first visual arts society and is now run by the University of North Florida. It fills a six-floor, 60,000-square-foot former Western Union building facing James Weldon Johnson Park. Shows of painting, sculpture and video by international and regional artists change through the year. Adult admission is $10, the first floor and café are always free, and everyone gets in free on Saturdays.
