Permanent exhibition. Opened 1946-1947 and closed approximately 1976. Located on Floor 2, Section 5 from 1946 to 1973-1974 and on Floor 4 from 1973-1974 to approximately 1976. The Corner Gallery at the American Museum of Natural History was a space for temporary exhibits. It originally shared a space with the North Asiatic Mammal Hall on the second floor, where space was available in an unused section (1, 1947, p. 113). The Corner Gallery was remodeled in 1971 as a slide projection theater, then relocated to the fourth floor in 1973-1974 (2, 1971-1972, p. 37-37; 1973-1974, p. 32). The latest documentation of the Corner Gallery is a Museum press release from May 1976 (3, 1976).
