Greece's biggest museum, gathering finds from all over the country. Walk into the Mycenaean hall by the entrance and there's the paper-thin gold 'Mask of Agamemnon' under a spotlight. The bronze Zeus (or Poseidon) hauled up from the seabed stands mid-throw, arm stretched out, tension right to the fingertips. You can also see the corroded fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism, often called the first analogue computer.
