The exhibition is based mainly on photographs made available by the Musée Curie in Paris and the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum in Warsaw. Most of them are materials presented in our Museum for the first time. The exhibition, unlike many previous ones, does not present the scientific achievements of Maria Cirie-Skłodowska , the multiple Nobel laureate, but focuses on her family and social  relationships.

The exhibition will be opened by JM Rector of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University prof. Stanisław Michałowski in the presence of prof. Pierre Joliot - a well-known biochemist and grandson of the Nobel laureate, who on October 24 this year will be awarded with the honorary doctorate degree from UMCS.
