the American Institute of Physics
This web site is an online exhibit about Marie Curie, the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and the first person to win two Nobel prizes. The exhibit provides an interactive account of Marie Curie's life, complete with photographs, maps, and links to more information. This is part of the Center for the History of Physics of the American Institute for Physics.
Excellent
Author: Mary Salit This exhibit does not dumb down the material at all. Instead it includes a lot of history of pre- World War II Poland, excerpts from Curie's writing in her own voice, photographs, and detailed context for all of the information. Excellent. A better experience than many science museums I've been too, with more information.
