Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum, Biographical museum in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland.
The Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum is housed in a reconstructed 18th-century townhouse on Freta Street and displays scientific instruments, letters, and research documents. The rooms show the daily life and professional world of the scientist through her personal belongings.
The museum opened in 1967 to mark one hundred years since her birth, and her daughter Eve Curie Labouisse attended the opening ceremony. The original commemorative plaque from 1932 survived World War II destruction and remains built into the reconstructed building's exterior.
The museum shows how Maria Skłodowska-Curie became the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes and changed science in her time. Her work is presented through personal objects and photographs that reveal how she made her way in a male-dominated field.
The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00, and guided tours are available in multiple languages. You can explore the rooms on your own or join a tour, depending on what works best for your schedule and interest.
The exhibition preserves laboratory equipment that was used during her research work and shows how science was practiced in the early 20th century. These tools give a direct look at her daily work in the lab.
