    This museum is great. It's got wonderful exhibits to help you learn about this amazing woman's life. It only takes maybe an hour or so but you can really learn a lot. The price of admission includes an audio guide which is very well done. The staff was really helpful to fix my audio guide when I was having some problems with it. It's really a treat and I definitely recommend going.

    Very interesting museum for science lovers. It might be appealing to a broader audience as well, since Curie was a very interesting person, achieving things no one could imagine for a woman of the early 19th century. She successfully encountered many obstacles and, among others, she managed to win 2 Nobel Prizes! She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win 2 Nobel Prizes, and the only person till today to have in her possession 2 Nobel Prizes in 2 different fields: physics and chemistry. As for her daughter Irene, she won a Nobel Prize too (shared with her husband)! As far as her daughter Eve is concerned, she was a musician and a writer, with the most popular book, of course, being the one that talks about her mother Marie. I highly recommend you to read that book. On Tuesdays (at least in November; I don't know about the other months), there is no entrance fee. They also provide you with an audio guide for free. The museum's shop had pretty good and affordable prices. I found souvenirs I couldn't find elsewhere. I don't know why you can easily find souvenirs in Warsaw depicting Chopin and not Curie... The only problem that it was so annoying is that they covered some non-original photos with glass, making it difficult to take a photo due to the reflection of the light on the glass.

    As a chemistry student, this place immediately won my heart. Although I have learned a lot about Marie S. C. so far from movies and books, being in her house and seeing all those those things really thrilled me. Best museum ever!

    Although it is relatively a small one, it is worth going there. We ended up going there in Tuesday and guess what, it is free on every Tuesday. The building is where Maria Sklodowska-Curie was born. There is plenty of info about her family and timeline of her works. Many lab equipments are present as well. It is marvellous to see her descendants followed the path of science as well.

    The Maria Skłodowska-Curie museum is another must see museum in Warsaw!! There is lots of information presented and we learned a lot of new things about Curie here. Curie’s test lab materials and such are on display here, which was very cool to see. I would definitely recommend coming to this museum during your visit in Warsaw!

    Interesting museum in the family house of Marie, with wonderful exhibitions from Marie's early life and laboratories. Helpful staff and nice entry video. You ll need 30-40 minutes to see it

    Great little museum housed in Marie Curie's childhood home. Interesting mix of family history and scientific achievement, told through a decent audio guide. Takes around an hour to get around. When I visited there were also good temporary exhibitions on women in science and Mme. Curie's tour to America via ocean liner (spoiler: not a born seafarer)

    Very inspiring museum about Marie Curie, a woman that was ahead of her time and had a beautiful mind. It is a little museum that can be seen in less than an hour, but definitely worth it if interested in her life and research.

    There's enough to see, read and learn here about this pioneer woman that you didn'talreadyknow. A must pay tribute visit. The day we visited the place it was not possible due to some technical issues to pay by credit card so we had a little bit of hassle to find a cash machine in the area, for cash withdrawal

    (Translated by Google) A great place to learn about the unknown history of the famous Nobel Prize winner. It is worth spending an hour to see and listen (audio guide) about how Maria Skłodowska-Curie grew up, grew up and worked. Free admission on Tuesdays. (Original) Wspaniałe miejsce na poznanie nieznanej historii znanej noblistki.

    It's not a big museum. I spent about two hours there. I had an audio guide and it was useful. You can see there different utensils used by Marie and Pierre Curie, old photographs, old books and other objects. It is a must see when you go to Warsaw. I hope my review is useful.

    If you want to know more about the life of Marie Curie, this is great. If you're interested in the science, you won't learn much. Don't miss the overview movie downstairs.

    Madame Marie Curie Museum is one of the best museums I have ever visited. After that, you will notice her countless contributions and services to the history of mankind.

  • 5/5 Hugo R. 4 years ago on Google
    The museum tells us about life and work of this important scientist. Have to go! The souvenir store has many options for gifts with affordable prices.

  • 5/5 Ruslan D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great Museum for Chemistry Fans (Original) Отличный музей для почитателей химии

  • 4/5 Cristina P. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to visit if this interests you. A lot of info about Marie’s life, but I did expect more items on display…

  • 5/5 Oksana K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit if you are interested in physics or in this great scientist. Museum collected all family's stuff and photos.

  • 5/5 M G. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s a tiny museum, but it’s really informative and well organised. They have audio guides and you can also watch a video presentation about Maria Skłodowska-Curie and her inspiring life. Definitely worth visiting! If I could I would give it one extra star for super nice and friendly staff :)

  • 5/5 David Alexander S. 2 years ago on Google
    A must see for all that are interested in science history. A nice little collection of artefacts and information about the life of Marie Curie. The only minus for me was that there should be more explanations of the workings and functions of the different tools that are on display. That is missing. Please upgrade Your museum in this reguard to have more chemistry and physics here.

  • 1/5 Shevan S. 5 months ago on Google
    We bought tickets thinking this would be a nice way to spend some time in the afternoon. After purchasing the tickets we went up and there was a large group of about 30 tourists being given a private tour in whatever their own language was. The lady who sold us the tickets never mentioned anything. We couldn't get through this group as the museum itself is quite small and if there's a big group like that there's no point in letting other people get tickets to go see the place. When I asked how long the crowd would be the receptionist and another staff member there seemed quite rude and said we can go come another time. There were about 5 other people with us who were also stuck and disappointed. We left after the crowd didn't move from that one room for 20+ minutes.

  • 4/5 Scott C. 6 months ago on Google
    Very concise and to the point - audio guide with ticket. Takes about 45 mins to get through. Would actually give it a 4.5, on my reason not 5 is that a few of the rooms needed a little more explanation.

  • 5/5 Filip P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good museum about physicist and chemist Marie Curie. There are also audio guides avalible.

  • 4/5 Konstantinos P. 1 year ago on Google
    A nicely organized, small museum, where you follow an audio tour of Marii's life through 3 rooms. It is a quick one and worths it. The staff is a bit awkward though.

  • 5/5 Bonny B. 11 months ago on Google
    Small and very interesting Museum about the life of Marie Curie! I recommend the audio guide, which is included with the admission. Be aware though that the museum more about the persona and her life and doesn’t dive deep into the actual science she was doing.

  • 4/5 H F. 1 year ago on Google
    It is the best museum to learn more about polish chemist and her husband and relatives.

  • 5/5 Jamie Joice N. 2 years ago on Google
    As a nuclear engineering student and a chemistry graduate, Marie curie is an inspiration to me and I got a lot of chills hearing about her life. This place is small (max 12 people at a time) but I learned a lot. Be sure to get audio guide and entrance is free on tuesdays (but it's cheap otherwise)

  • 5/5 Natalie B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great museum about the whole Sklodowska-Curie family and their extraordinary achievements. They manage to display a lot of information in a relatively small space. The entrance fee is ridiculously low.

  • 5/5 Concepcion A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing museum. It is very small and the visit may be short, but you get the whole picture in a nutshell. Very clear, interesting and interactive in every way. The tickets and audio guide are very cheap. I highly recommend the last one. Everything is in English anyways. The visit may take you 15 minutes to an hour. It’s not necessary to buy tickets in advanced.

  • 4/5 Monica C. 1 year ago on Google
    It worths visiting, but do not go with high expectations. The audio guide is helpful and there are some interesting things to be seen. It is a small museum gathering Marie Curie related things, but the house does not keep much from they way it might have looked when she lived there. Nice things in the museum shop, polite staff. The house is situated in the charming old town, close to other touristic attractions.

  • 2/5 StVincent 2. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Honestly, I was a bit disappointed. Museum without signatures, little history. In my opinion, the exhibits themselves are a bit too little - if someone does not know much about Maria's life, then after the visit, they will be at the same stage. (Original) Szczerze mówiąc trochę się zawiodłem. Muzeum bez podpisów, mało historii. Same eksponaty według mnie to trochę za mało - jeśli ktoś nie wie za wiele o życiu Marii, to po zwiedzeniu będzie na tym samym etapie.

  • 2/5 ahmet i. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small museum. Entrance is 10 ZPl, cheap, but not worth the detour. It is better to read a bibliography on the internet than to come and visit it. On the other hand, I recommend coming to observe it from the outside. (Original) Petit musée. L'entree est de 10 ZPl, pas cher, mais, ca ne vaut pas le détour. Il vaut mieux lire une bibliographie sur internet que de venir le visiter. Par contre, je conseille de venir l'observer de l'extérieur.

  • 5/5 Agata W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum is tiny and probably underrated, but definitely worth visiting. After all, our Nobel Prize winner was born here😄. The audio guide in the ticket price gives you a great tour of the exhibition (Original) Muzeum malutkie i chyba niedoceniane, ale zdecydowanie warte odwiedzin.

  • 4/5 John D. 6 years ago on Google
    A very good museum to showcase Marie Curies life and achievements. Cheap entrance, lots of information and lots of items from her life

  • 5/5 John-J A. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing. Cheap. Educational. Seeing her tools, personal artifacts and the story of her life for so cheap was almost robbery. I felt inclined to pay more. Amazing displays and stories dating back to her marriage and her education before her services in science and the army.

  • 4/5 Lirunks A. 6 years ago on Google
    Great see through on Maria Currie life and achievements. Had a problem with the top floor exhibit wgich lacked on English explanations. A good read for science people.

  • 5/5 Juan C. 3 years ago on Google
    This museum is located in a house that is close to the Old Town of Warsaw. It is small, and you could enjoy it in less than two hours. If you appreciate science and stay in Warsaw for a short stay, you should come and visit this museum.

  • 3/5 DEJAN R. 3 years ago on Google
    It could better represent the life of the greatest woman in science. The museum is quite old and exhibits are not at all interactive. Given the importance of Madame Curie in the scientific world, she would deserve to be commemorated on the same level as the composer Choppin in his museum in Warsaw. Anyway free entrance on Tuesday fixed the mood!

    (Translated by Google) It is Mrs. Curie who is the world-renowned Polish figure and who knows the Nobel Prize winner. The birthplace of Mrs. Curie is now open to the public as the "Mrs. Curie Museum". Last year (2019), Mr. and Mrs. Akishino also visited, and the images were being watched in the news in Japan. You can walk from the old town, but if you carelessly pass by because it is not so noticeable (sweat) Since I went on a tour, I didn't go into the museum and only visited the exterior, but it seems that I am exhibiting research materials and letters. (Original) ポーランドが誇る世界的偉人で、ノーベル賞を受賞した人と言えば誰もが知っているキュリー夫人ですね。 そのキュリー夫人の生家がここで、現在は「キュリー夫人博物館」として公開されています。 昨年(2019年)は秋篠宮ご夫妻も訪れていて、日本でもニュースで映像がながれていましたね。 旧市街から歩いて行けるのですが、あまり目立たないためうっかりすると通り過ぎてしまいます(汗) 私はツアーで行ったので博物館の中には入らず外観の見学だけでしたが、研究に関する資料や手紙など展示しているそうです。

    (Translated by Google) A great place for anyone interested in the life and scientific achievements of the Polish double Nobel laureate (chemistry and physics). The museum is located in the old town in her family's house where she lived before her studies. Really interesting places if you want to deepen knowledge about this extraordinary woman. (Original) Świetne miejsce dla wszystkich zainteresowanych życie i dorobkiem naukowym polskiej podwójnej noblistki (chemia i fizyka).
