There is a lot of really beautiful intarsia work in the Nationality Classrooms at Pitt. I used to be a guide there :-)

I kept trying to click the link that would take me to a poorly-textured VRML model of that room, until I read about how it was done.

That is just gorgeous. It's just as well we just finished the downstairs renovations, as I couldn't afford to do the room like this, even though I want to. I've added you to my "friends list" because you have lovely pictures and nice science trivia in your posts.
