Small but very charming museum that will tell you a lot about Marie Curie. Even though we thought we knew a lot about Marie Curie already, it still surprised us with some facts. If you are fascinated with this great scientist as we are, don't miss it!

If you've more than a passing interest in Science then this is a great little museum to the life and work of Marie Curie. Just outside the old city walls (Barbican) understated signage, would be easy to walk past and not realise this was her former home. Really helpful staff and a decent audio guide through this small museum, mock up of their lab, apparatus etc and a good small exhibition downstairs of Radium related products.

This is coming from a non-science person. And when I say non-science, I mean when you mention anything about chemicals or… See I don’t even know a science term, I will give you a glazed over look. But I really enjoyed this museum! to look at her scribblings and just think when she was riding all that out, she had no idea of the affect her invention would have on the world. Whether you think it was helpful or harmful, that’s part of the interesting aspect of this museum. it did help that I watched a movie before I left home.
