Young Maria Curie










Maria Curie is pictured as a student.  "Sklodowska" is her maiden name.
Since Maria’s homeland, Poland, was occupied by the Russian Empire, she attended an underground educational institute called the Flying University (Polish: Uniwersytet Latający).  Maria continued her education in Paris, France.  


The picture was taken in June 2018 at an exhibition presented in the lobby of Warsaw Public Library, the Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship.
