The Pergamon Museum, Berlin. At some point German archeologists brought back the entire front half of an old temple. It's amazing - although the Ishtar Gate brought back from Babylon is even more impressive, but you're not allowed to photograph that. See Wikipedia's entry on the subject. But keep in mind that they've now set up the processional street coming up to the gate as well as the gate itself: it's pretty damn awe-inspiring.
