Sistine Chapel
A large collection of JPEG images allows you to take a virtual tour of Michelangelo's master work. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of description about the images, but a diagram of the building is included for easy reference. Note that you have to wait for this entire page to load and scroll down to the bottom to access the tour; it's a little confusing but worth the trip.
