Museum of Arts and Sciences

Detail: The Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS) is the primary art, history and science museum in Central Florida. Located on a 90-acre Florida nature preserve, the 86,000 square foot facility is host to over 30,000 objects including the finest collection of American Art in the southeast, the largest collection of Cuban art outside of Cuba, a significant Chinese art collection, and Florida's prehistoric Giant Ground Sloth. Also on display, is Coca-Cola entrepreneur Chapman Root’s lifetime collection of Americana, including two private rail cars. The museum’s theater, planetarium, and children’s center make for a truly interactive experience.

The Charles and Linda Williams Children's Museum is scheduled to open November 21, 2008 and will be the first hands-on science center in Volusia County. The 9,000 square foot addition to the Museum of Arts & Sciences will house cutting-edge, interactive science exhibits for children ages 4 to 14.
