Revealing Things was the first

Revealing Things was the first Smithsonian exhibit to be created specifically for the Internet (way back in 1998!) and it’s very, very good. The interface is full of new ideas and old ones done right, and feels natural to use. The site incorporates Flash, frames, and Java seamlessly. Any one of these technologies done well is impressive. The sum of the parts works out to a fascinating meditation on objects, as the title suggests.
