Print ArticleOne thing you’ll probably never do is go bored in Jacksonville. With all the things there seem to be available to do in this city, the price tag for “fun” can start to get pretty hefty. Fear not, for not only is there lots of things to do—there’s lots of things to do for FREE. Here’s a second installment of “10 Free Things to Do in Jacksonville.”
5. Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Jacksonville
The Museum of Contemporary Art, or MOCA, began all the way back in 1920 as the Jacksonville Fine Arts Society. Since then, it has been incorporated into the Jacksonville Art Museum, accredited by the American Alliance of Museum, and now, stands as a nonprofit visual arts educational institute and “cultural resource” for the University of North Florida.
MOCA is dedicated to collecting and preserving modern and contemporary art. Today, MOCA has close to 800 pieces in their collection, and in the last few years alone, has created over thirty exhibits.
MOCA is free on Wednesday nights to the general public, between the hours of 5PM and 9PM.
The Museum is located at 333 North Laura Street. For information about upcoming exhibits, please visit www.mocajacksonville.org.
