The Maria Skłodowska-Curie Monument in Lublin (Polish: Pomnik Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w Lublinie) is a bronze statue in Lublin, eastern Poland, dedicated to Polish physicist and chemist Marie Curie (1867–1934).

History[]

The bronze monument was designed by Polish sculptor Marian Konieczny (with Stanisław Ciechan) and ceremonially unveiled on 24 October 1964. It is 9 metres high (including pedestal)[1] and stands on Marie Skłodowska-Curie Square (Plac Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie), near Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS).

Marie Curie is depicted in a long robe and holding a book in her right hand. The pedestal inscriptions read: "To Maria Skłodowska-Curie, from the University Bearing Her Name, and from [Polish] Society" and "On the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of the University. 1944–1964."[2]
