Museum featuring a collection of objects tracing the history of radioactivity and its uses in medicine.

The museum is located on the first floor of a pavilion built in the 1910s to house Marie and Pierre Curie's laboratory. Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie would later work there. The museum's collections retrace the major milestones in the history of radioactivity and its medical applications. They include instruments used by the scientists, as well as personal objects. The exhibition spaces are very well designed and accessible to all.

O museu é bem pequeno, mas super interessante. É possível ver o escritório e o laboratório da Marie, foi emocionante.

Amazing experience for any science background person. The workings of Curie family displayed in a great fashion. Fantastic exhibition and maintenance.

Charming, informative and well designed museum. It’s a treat to see Madame Curie’s laboratory, thoughtfully decontaminated for our safety.

Petit musée très sympathique

This place is a wonderful little glimpse into the story of Marie Curie and her family's work with Radium, and the pioneering early days of cancer research and treatment.

This isn't the ultimate dissertation on the life and works of Marie Curie; you'll probably learn as many facts reading a few websites as they have in their displays here. However, you'll never get a first hand view of Marie Curie's office and lab that way, and some of the equipment they used (and even invented) for their research and experiments.

It's only open a few hours a day for a few days of the week, but this little gem is well worth a visit if you happen to be visiting Paris, or if you live there (I know how easy it is to take the gems on your own doorstep for granted!)
