Well, yes, obviously. I'd like a Stanford torus in L5 orbit, too. I mentioned the stellarium because it is directly relevant as being a really-o, truly-o 3-dimensional star-map. Quoted prices range from about US$10,000 for a three-foot tank with 150 stars to almost quarter of a million for a ten-foot tank with 2,300 stars. I would be really tempted by a small one except that you need an appropriately-sized darkened room to display it in.

Of course, going well out into the further reaches of the solar system where the Sun's light is much less than it is in Earth's orbit would be nice to... But has its own difficulties.
