You were no doubt kidding, but fyi the public images are all over on: https://noirlab.edu/public/images/archive/category/rubin/

The first two are available at different resolutions:
https://noirlab.edu/public/images/noirlab2521b/
https://noirlab.edu/public/images/noirlab2521a/

But ... the full resolution originals are 24.2 gig and 14.1 gig, so about 38 gigabytes total. If your ISP can sustain 100 mbit download speeds, that's a little over an hour

Much more difficult is getting a display that shows all the pixels at once ... 84000 x 51500 and 97943 x 51536.
