The Library of Congress' online exhibit about the work of designers Charles and Ray Eames, covers their lives and their work, not just their famous chairs and furniture. The "Biography" section is a great place for visitors to start learning about the Eameses, and it provides some great photos of their work and them in the process of working. Visitors with children will find the "Connecting Kids" section on the homepage helpful for putting the Eameses' work into the context of larger structures in America, by providing the link to the Library of Congress' "Built In America" collection. The fascinating "Culture" section of the exhibit conveys their travels to India through lush photos and correspondence. In addition, visitors will find that the "Beauty", "Space", "Science", and other sections are equally edifying.
