Exposition "Des savants au sommet. Irène et Frédéric Joliot-Curie à Megève, 1925-1931"
Monday, July 20
Jardin Alpin 1308 Route Nationale 74120 Megève
The exhibition reveals a little-known side of 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. There, they skied, surrounded by their friends and colleagues from the Radium Institute. Drawn from family albums and the collections of the Curie Museum, these intimate moments offer a rare and precious glimpse: a unique historical perspective on this circle of scientists who represent the entire history of French nuclear science, and on their era.
