Maria Skłodowska - Curie

For the discovery of polonium and radium, and the production of pure radium, Maria Skłodowska-Curie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911. This was her second Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded in 1903 jointly with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel. The scientist died on July 4, 1934, in France, and her ashes rest in the Panthéon in Paris. The Wrocław mural, created using fluorescent paints, depicts Skłodowska-Curie with illuminated laboratory vessels and a vial in her hand, along with the symbols of polonium and radium. The work, created by Good Looking Studio, is part of an Orlen campaign conducted in collaboration with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum in Warsaw.
