The home of pioneer scientist
The biographical Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum was opened in 1967 at 16 Freta Street in Warsaw – in the place of birth of the first female Nobel Prize winner and the only woman awarded by The Swedish Academy twice (Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911). The museum’s collection includes, among others, memorabilia, instruments from the laboratory, notes and correspondence, photographs, documents, personal belongings, as well as sculptures by famous Polish artists, stamps, medals and banknotes commemorating the scientist. Museum presents the permanent exhibition and temporary projects. The current permanent exposition is available to visitors only until 3rd of March, and afterwards will be replaced by a brand new permanent exhibition “Who are You Maria?”.
