Madame Marie Curie Museum
If it wouldn't be for Scientist Marie Curie, we'd be living in a different world -- one surely short in the fight against cancer. She was the one who first really made a breakthrough in the science of radioactivity. The Curie museum was built in very close proximity of the place where she had conducted her original observations and experimentations. So although this is not the true Curie Laboratory, you'll be able to see information about the Curie family and their achievements here.
"The Curie Museum occupies the Curie Laboratory of the Radium Institute, where Marie Curie, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie did much of their work. The museum enshrines a rich scientific heritage and gives pride of place to the “family with five Nobel Prizes”: Marie and Pierre Curie, Irène Joliot-Curie and Frédéric Joliot." www.curie.fr

Zen and the Art of Being Dragged to the Museums
By Don AndrewsThe green Michelin Paris guidebook was to become our leader, our master, and a real pain to my backside. Totally devoid of humor, packed with esoteric facts, and the smallest print devised by man, I was to spend more time peering into it than looking around at what it described.
