A poet by the name of Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a peom with the chambered nautilus (one of the most commonly known nautiluses) as it's subject and title. And of course a submarine named The Nautilus appeared in two of Jules Vernes' novels.
In Music:
Interestingly enough a russian band was named Nautilus Pompilius, nautilus pompilius being the chambered nautilus's binomial name. Also the amerisan composer Deems Taylor wrote a cantata called The Chambered Nautilus.
In Art:
The artist Andrew Wyeth made a painting called "Chambered Nautilus". Interestingly, nautilus shells were used to make cups that were really more for decoration rather than use.
