The Teaching Museum is a 1,000-square-foot locked, alarmed and enclosed space located on the fourth floor of McCarthy Hall adjacent to the entrance to the Department of Anthropology at California State University, Fullerton. Part of the $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation that resulted in completion of the Anthropology Research and Teaching Facility in 1998, the museum is equipped with standard professional museum exhibit cases with secure plexi-covers designed by Paul Johnson of the Bowers Museum Cultural Art. The walls are movable and anchored on tracks in the ceiling, and the lighting is standard museum track lighting utilizing professional low-heat, non-UV lamps. The main door, a 600-pound sliding door that serves as the normal entrance into the gallery during the exhibit, faces the Anthropology reception desk and constitutes a striking welcome to visitors entering through the curved glass doors into the Anthropology Research and Teaching Facility.
