The first measurement of exclusive photodisintegration of {sup 3}He with polarized photons is reported. Cross sections and asymmetries for {sup 3}He({gamma},{ital pn}){ital p} and {sup 3}He({gamma},{ital pp}){ital n} at 235{le}{ital E}{sub {gamma}}{le}305 MeV, and fixed proton emission angle {theta}{sub {ital P}1}=100{degree}, are compared to a theoretical calculation which includes one-, two-, and three-nucleon photon absorption. Two-nucleon absorption dominates the {ital pn} data, but is suppressed in the {ital pp} data. Both the {ital pn} and {ital pp} data require the inclusion of three-nucleon absorption to describe the cross section and beam asymmetry over all momenta. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
