javascript library to show photo album

Question

I visited few web sites in the past where they had a set of photo thumbnails and clicking on one of them created a cool effect of an expanding popup showing the full size image. Is there any available free javascript library that will do this?

I'm interested mostly in the popup effect and less in the rest of the album management.
