Museum dedicated to the research and life of the famous female physicist Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Thanks to her research, the table of chemical elements was replenished with two new elements - polonium and radium. The name "polonium" was given to the substance in honor of the scientist’s homeland - Poland. Maria was twice awarded the Nobel Prize. The museum was organized in 1967 by the efforts of her daughter Eva Curie.

Very interesting museum for science lovers. It might be appealing to a broader audience as well, since Curie was a very interesting person, achieving things no one could imagine for a woman of the early 19th century. She successfully encountered many.. Read more » obstacles and, among others, she managed to win 2 Nobel Prizes! She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win 2 Nobel Prizes, and the only person till today to have in her possession 2 Nobel Prizes in 2 different fields: physics and chemistry. As for her daughter Irene, she won a Nobel Prize too (shared with her husband)! As far as her daughter Eve is concerned, she was a musician and a writer, with the most popular book, of course, being the one that talks about her mother Marie. I highly recommend you to read that book.
On Tuesdays (at least in November; I don't know about the other months), there is no entrance fee. They also provide you with an audio guide for free.
The museum's shop had pretty good and affordable prices. I found souvenirs I couldn't find elsewhere. I don't know why you can easily find souvenirs in Warsaw depicting Chopin and not Curie...
The only problem that it was so annoying is that they covered some non-original photos with glass, making it difficult to take a photo due to the reflection of the light on the glass.

It's not a big museum.
I spent about two hours there.
I had an audio guide and it was useful. You can see there different utensils used by Marie and Pierre Curie, old photographs, old books and other objects.

A great museum about the whole Sklodowska-Curie family and their extraordinary achievements. They manage to display a lot of information in a relatively small space. The entrance fee is ridiculously low.

Very inspiring museum about Marie Curie, a woman that was ahead of her time and had a beautiful mind. It is a little museum that can be seen in less than an hour, but definitely worth it if interested in her life and research.

If you want to know more about the life of Marie Curie, this is great. If you're interested in the science, you won't learn much. Don't miss the overview movie downstairs.

It could better represent the life of the greatest woman in science. The museum is quite old and exhibits are not at all interactive.
