and obviously in Poland. But here we call her with her full Polish(hers)-French(husband) name, not only the French part.
a new bridge in Warsaw was recently named after her http://goo.gl/maps/Y1X5d http://goo.gl/maps/Y1X5d
- zbyszek 14y agoAnd there is a university in Lublin named after her too.
- zalew 14y agothere is heck a lot of stuff around named, the bridge is just the newest of them :)
- ajuc 14y agoI've graduated it :) It was created as communist-approved alternative to KUL(Catholic University of Lublin - the only university independent from communist government in 1944-1989 Poland). Now it's the other way around (KUL is heavily influenced by catholic church, and umcs is more-or-less independent). BTW - my university uses French order of writting Maria name "Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie". Maria sometimes used French order (with husband surname first), and sometimes used Polish order (with husband surname second), but rarely skipped "Skłodowska" altogether.
