NASA gennerally doesn't do CGI, I think, which is what a milky way image would HAVE to be (well, CGI or other art.. you get the idea. No pictures)

While it is quite imposible for anyone to actually take a photo of the milkyway considering where you would have to be sitting to take the picture

Nasa and in particular the huble space telescope has taken several pictures of similar in design galaxies to our own milkyway.

A search for "spiral galaxy" on http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html had 116 hits. Some of them are very good.
