Curie Museum

WOW! Free admission and such an amazing museum dedicated to all that Marie Curie contributed to our science fields. The artifacts, notes, her laboratory and office, etc are phenomenal and it is a privilege to get to see these things. As a chemistry educator, this was a dream come true and has been on my bucket list. So thankful for this museum and that it is free and open for the public to enjoy and learn from.

We thought the Curie Museum was just great. The museum is small but loaded with information and instruments owned by Marie Curie. We very much enjoyed seeing her original office and laboratory, left much as it was in her day. Her garden is also preserved in the rear of the building. A very worthwhile place to visit.

A small but informative museum. Once it was the site of the Radium Institute, opened in 1914. It consisted of two pavilions: the Pasteur pavilion and the Curie pavilion. If you decide to stop by, it’s only to immerse yourself once again in the history of science and its most important discoveries. At the center of the museum are Marie Curie’s office and personal laboratory, untouched evidence of her work.

The Curie Museum was fantastic! As a professor and someone who is fascinated with science and history, this was a wonderful experience. The museum was designed well, information was explained, and seeing Marie Curie's office and lab was amazing. She was a pioneer for science and women! Definitely make time to go when you are in Paris!

Great to remember a "la patronne", all the breakthroughs, and t both the historic and scientific context. The personal is really kind and helpfull. Is small but 100% recommend for those who love science.

Although a little museum, the Marie Curie Museum holds great intrigue by allowing a close look at the life of the renowned scientist. You are given a chance to access some unique possessions, incredible photographs featuring her, and hear her captivating stories. The most exciting part about it is the free access to the exhibit which qualifies it as one of the must-see attractions of the place, especially for science and history buffs.

Small museum with free entry, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless if you have some time to kill. Visitors get insights into the lives of the Curie family, but the museum does a very poor job at explaining the basics of nuclear science and why it mattered. Rather than a video of Marie Curie ice skating, I would have appreciated a decent introduction to the historical context and significance of Marie Curie’s research, the technical and societal challenges she faced, etc. Signs are in French and English.

Smaller than expected, but very interesting for anyone who appreciates the work of the Curies. Relatively few exhibits, but they are well presented.
