Maria Skłodowska-Curie monument in Warsaw, Bronze monument in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland
The monument is a three-meter tall bronze sculpture showing the Polish physicist in a thoughtful pose. It stands in the park named after her, where its presence and form shape how visitors experience the space.
Sculptor Ludwika Nitschowa created the monument, which was unveiled on September 5, 1935. This marked the city's recognition of the scientist's contributions to radioactivity research.
The monument sits near the Institute of Oncology, where the scientist herself laid the foundation stone and donated radium for medical treatment. The location connects memory of her work with the practical applications of her discoveries in medicine.
The monument is easily reached through Maria Skłodowska-Curie Park, which features information panels and educational pathways. Visitors can take their time exploring the surroundings and reading the details at the information cubes throughout the park.
The monument connects three important locations: where the scientist was born, the institute she founded, and the park with exhibits about her discoveries. This arrangement makes the site a coherent testimony to her life and work.
