The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats

This online exhibition is quite simply remarkable. Based on the National Library of Ireland’s Yeats exhibition (which runs through the end of this year), the interface (broadband recommended; Flash required) simulates the experience of walking through the actual exhibition: explore display cases, wander through the various rooms, watch videos, etc. The library holds the largest and most important collection of Yeats manuscripts in the world and many of these are are on display, along with letters, rare editions of the poet’s works, and the like.
