Rainbow.me allows you to enter any ETH/ENS domain address and search its contents. Once you search the public wallet address, it will populate all NFTs/tokens associated with that, specific address. Additionally, it displays the wallet's NFTs in a larger-scale view to allow for an easy and entertaining browsing experience.
