Police said that Anderson, who knows the victim's mother, was at the museum with the child, and while there, took the child upstairs and allegedly sexually assaulted her.
The assault was seen by two people, who reported the incident to museum staff. The employees came to the aid of the child and took her to a private room, where she reported what had happened to her.
Anderson fled the museum and has not been seen since.
On Monday, police issued two warrants for Anderson's arrest after police said there is evidence indicating he may have sexually assaulted other victims at different locations.
