Biography | Marie Curie — Born in This House on Freta Street
kevin
Maria Salomea Skłodowska was born on 7 November 1867 in the tenement at ulica Freta 16 in Warsaw’s New Town.
The building housed a girls’ boarding school run by her mother, Bronisława.
Her father, Władysław Skłodowski, taught mathematics and physics.
The family lived on the first floor for the first year of her life before moving to Nowolipki Street in 1868 when her father took a new post.
The original structure was destroyed in 1944 after the Warsaw Uprising.
What stands today is a carefully rebuilt replica that has housed the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum since 1967, the centenary of her birth.
A plaque marks the site as the place where the future double Nobel laureate entered the world.
