The Eames House

Discover the World of Charles & Ray Eames

Preserved much as it was when they lived in it, the Eames House offers a rare glimpse into the life, work, and philosophy of Charles & Ray Eames. Whether exploring the grounds or experiencing their collections up close, each visit is an invitation to find inspiration in the joy, rigor, and playfulness that defined their approach to design.

Public Overview Tour

Our standard public tour offers a one-hour introduction to the Eames House, featuring guided stories in the meadow, views into the residence, interior access to Charles and Ray’s Studio, and time to explore the grounds.
