I have a late 2013 iMac running High Sierra. I was finally going to upgrade to the latest OS, Big Sur. Turns out, it's too old. But it should be compatible with Catalina.

Problem is, I can't find out how to download Catalina anywhere. Has that ship sailed?
 
My mpb tries to find the oses with the Apple music store and shows a dialog box saying that the item is not available in the US Store.

I was able to locate El Capitan in the Apple App store but couldn't find Catalina or Mojave.

I am currently running Catalina on my mid 2012 MBP but would like to try out Mojave to have access to some 32 bit apps.

I resurrected this MBP with a failing hard drive and thought that it would install the original OS when I was finally able to partially boot it up--I was surprised to find that it installed Catalina when the set up was complete. I then cloned the failing HD to a spare HD, then subsequently cloned that clone to an SSD. Now that I've played around with Catalina for a while I am wondering how I would like Mojave, so I am interested in trying to find a place to download Mojave.

You can download it by going to the link that @Natzoo posted above. Click the link for Mojave under Download MacOS. That should open the Mojave page in App Store (or, at least it does for me).
 
If you can update to Mojave, your Mac will recommend updating to Catalina in the system update section.
