Thanks all for the great references! Surely they will keep my busy for a while, but I may bug you all again with more questions or maybe to ask those of you that are interested for some feedback.
For the good of the hive mind, here are some of the responses I received from generous contributors off list that might be of interest to others looking into ISE based TUIs:
-The Perot Museum was suggested as a good source for exhibits with TUIs
http://www.perotmuseum.org/explore-the-museum/exhibit-halls/index.html
-An NSF funded 3D visualization of freshwater lake ecosystems (still under evaluation)
http://www.lakeviz.org/
http://www.wired.com/design/2013/08/this-augmented-reality-sandbox-turns-dirt-into-an-interactive-interface/
-And a few great resources recommended by Bob Ketner. So good I'll just quote him:
2011 - The Tech Test Zone
I created, pitched, and led the production of this gallery.The point of this gallery was to bring new emerging interfaces into the interactive museum space. It launched with an interactive "digital foam" which is developed by Dr. Ross Smith. (http://thetechopensource.thetech.org/projects/digital-foam)
(http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/projects/digital-foam/)
The piece put on display was custom developed between Dr. Ross and our team (http://news.cnet.com/2300-11386_3-10010254-3.html)
That is the tangible media piece. It also opened with augmented reality, gestural interface, eye-tracking, tablets, touch-screens, and a thermal camera.

2012 - Resolution by Zigelbaum + Coelho
This tangible media art piece opened September 2012. It is meant to connect students to the concepts of tangible interfaces and computational materials.

also, formerly at the Hall of Science, a viral transmission exhibit model
with puzzle shapes that fit onto a big nose & lit up labels.
The National Council of Science Museums in India has a similar exhibit for
children's galleries...beets, carrots, onions, mangos etc. When you place
them in the correct place on the exhibit wall, you understand where they
grow on the plant, and also more information about them.

*One of the most powerful ideas underlying science is that a small number
of simple laws guide the behavior of the natural world. If this is true,
why is science not taught that way in our schools?*
