I'd suggest looking at the Asia Society in New York City, David Small has
built two very compelling and beautiful interfaces, one a map, and one a
calendar.

The Cooper Hewitt Design Museum had a "digital book" interface that we
built, but the exhibit is over.

And as long as you are in the SF area, The Zeum has a consistent commitment
to using cutting edge technology as well.

Best,
