Identify two works of art that have been removed from thier origional setting?

Question

This is for an AP Art History anaylsis. Each example needs to be from different time periods and the origional locations need to demonstrate the ideals of the culture that created it. I've already thought of a few examples but i'm always looking for more (The AP test is only a few weeks away!) Thanks for all your help.

Oh, and I was also thinking that Dolly Madison moved some stuff when the white house caught fire. At least I think she did. Good luck!!

Answer 2

The panels of the Parthenon were taken to London "to protect them" by Lord Elgin, so they are now called the Elgin Marbles. Several different obelisks were removed from Egypt and installed elsewhere, first by the the Romans in Rome, later by Napoleon in Paris, and whoever took them to Britain.
