Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum

Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum

Maria Skłodowska was born on 7 November 1867 in this very Old Town house. In the only biographical museum dedicated to the scientist, you will find precious artefacts as well as many of her personal items, which will help you better understand the meaning of her work, and which will cast a light on her private life.

Church of the Visitation of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary

Church of the Visitation of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary

One of Warsaw’s oldest churches located in the picturesque setting at the foot of the Vistula Embankment. The parish church of the Skłodowski family, it was here that Maria was baptised. A statue of the best-known female Varsovian stands nearby.

Vistula Embankment

Vistula Embankment

One of Maria’s favourite walking routes. She did not forget it when visiting Warsaw for the last time. The banks of the Vistula still attract both residents and tourists, especially in the summertime, with city beaches, many bars, outdoor concerts, river cruises and night-time shows in the Multimedia Fountain Park.
