Now, that I've blown (how much) time surfing Google Earth, they've come out with 14,000 megapixel images of some the world's greatest works of art to be viewed through, of course, Google Earth's tools.
It's quite amazing, really. Read the link above to get you started.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Wow, is that wonderful! I will likely never visit many of the great art galleries of the world, but this project gives me access to a wonderfully detailed view of part of one of the best. Thanks, Randy!
