Born Maria Skłodowska on November 7, 1867, and better known to the world as Marie Curie, this small museum inside the building she was born in contains a charming homage to the life and work of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Artifacts on display include many personal effects, such as original letters and one of Curie’s black dresses, as well as a small collection of scientific instruments. One room has been adapted as a recreation of Curie's laboratory. The lady who gave the world so much, including the chemical element polonium, named after the country of her birth, died in Savoy, France, on July 4, 1934, the victim of leukaemia, which she is believed to have contracted during her many years of dangerous research.
