Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, August 8, 2026 —
The Museum of Motherhood (MoM), previously located in the Tampa-St. Petersburg (Sarasota) area, is now transitioning to a fully digital platform. Its physical location closed its doors at the end of August, shifting its entire operation to its online presence at mommuseum.org.
Founded in 2002 by Martha Joy Rose, the museum has dedicated itself to exploring and changing societal conversations surrounding the multifaceted experience of motherhood. The transition to a digital format is intended to allow the museum to continue its mission and expand its reach to a wider audience.

The museum’s online platform, mommuseum.org, will now serve as the primary venue for its collections, exhibits, and educational resources. The shift aims to leverage digital technologies to make its content more accessible. Further details about the museum’s future digital programming or exhibits were not immediately available.
