There is a Buddhist Temple in Thailand decorated with images of Superman, Keanu Reeves-as-Neo, and a host of other Western Pop Cultural Icons that simply has to be seen to be believed. You can see a few pictures of it at the FEELguide site. You can also catch the Re-Post of it over at Boing-Boing if you like. It's not Swarovski's Kristallwelt...but it is just as mind-blowing in many respects...and you might also want to take a look at Jefferey J. Kripal's article: PsiFi: Popular Culture and the Paranormal over at Boing-Boing as well. Anyone who name-checks Arthur Koestler and offers up the Library Angels right out of the chute is okay by us--and the article is a fun read--as well as a wonderful bit of synchronicity.
