Musée Curie

Founded in 1911, the Institut du Radium brings together the laboratories of Marie Curie in physics and chemistry, and Claudius Regaud in medicine and biology. The Musée Curie, located in the former institute's Pavillon Curie, traces the history of radioactivity and its medical applications through historical instruments and photos of the Curie family, winners of five Nobel Prizes. Refurbished in 2012, the museum features an exhibition on the Curie family, radium, the Curie laboratory and the Fondation Curie's fight against cancer, offering a visit that combines science and history.
