This mural devoted to Marie Skłodowska-Curie can be found just before reaching Warsaw University Library when walking down from the Warsaw University campus near the Old Town. Back in my hometown of Bury, Lancashire, I had learnt at school that Marie Curie was French, so when I first came to Poland in the late 1990s, I was somewhat surprised to find out that Marie Curie Skłodowska was in fact Polish. Of course, the Poles are quite rightly proud of this fact.
