I loved the Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design exhibit. Some may find it sparse, but make sure you have time to sit through the videos. I wish they made those readily available (it's not an Eames video, just videos of the factories building the chairs and the people involved in it). The deconstructed Eames chair is very cool too, though the Honda F1 version blows it away in terms of complexity.
Go on Thursdays when it's free!
