Description
The exhibition reveals a little-known side to the famous scientific couple Irène — daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie — and Frédéric Joliot-Curie, renowned for their discovery of artificial radioactivity, which earned them a Nobel Prize in 1935.
Passionate about outdoor sports and mountain lovers, Irène and Frédéric stayed in Megève several times between 1925 and 1931. They enjoyed skiing there, surrounded by their friends and colleagues from the Radium Institute. Taken from family albums and the collections of the Curie Museum, these intimate moments offer a rare and precious insight: a unique historical perspective on this circle of scientists who represent the entire history of French nuclear energy, and on their era.
