Pioneering, persevering and passionate, these qualities made us want to pay tribute to Marie Curie in our collection on inspiring women.
First woman to win two Nobel Prizes, one in physics for the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity, the second in chemistry for having succeeded in isolating a gram of radium.
She was also the first female university professor in France, becoming the holder of the chair of general physics at the Sorbonne.
During the war, she helped save thousands of soldiers by developing the X-ray technique and by training nurses in the use of X-ray vehicles sent to the front.
On the silk square we dedicate to her, we can see her in her laboratory where the physics and chemistry instruments that helped her major discoveries stand proudly on multiple shelves. The more seasoned might recognize the piezoelectric quartz or the ionization chamber...
