Visited the #Curie museum (#MuseeCurie) in #Paris today. It's tiny, but really cool to see this collection on the lives of the Curie family with their three Nobel prize winners. And you can see Marie Curie's office and lab from the time when she was head of the Curie Laboratory!
Also: A quarter of her staff of ca. 40 people were women! In the 1930's! #WomenInSTEM

Photo of the Curie lab. Many big glass objects on a tiled table give the appearance of a chemistry lab. A black dress in the background looks like the one Marie wears on the famous photos from her in the lab.
A golden badge on a wooden box says in capital letters "Presented by the president of the united states of America on behalf of the women of America to Madame Marie Sklodowska-Curie in recognition of her transcendent service to science and to humanity in the discovery of radium. The White House, Washington D.C., May twentieth, nineteen twenty-one". The box with this sign contained 1 gram of pure radium that the women of America bought for the giant amount of 100000 dollars.

The look on #MarieCurie's face when she learns that women are still not treated equally in science more than hundred years after her success:
