Our Museum is the only one devtoded to Maria Skłodowska-Curie biography. It was established in 1967, on 100 anniversary of Maria's birth. The Museum is the property of The Polish Chemical Society. The head-office of The Society is situated in the same building. The area, where the Museum is situated - so called New Town (in fact a part of beautiful Old Town of Warsaw) - was loved by Maria Curie very much.

There are four rooms in the Museum, which show the everyday life and work of Maria Skłodowska, and also her scientific achievements, honours she received and long-term consequences of her scientific discoveries.

The pathway through these four rooms is marked with citations of Maria's and Pierre's comments about their life-path, which help to understand the climate and problems of their times.
