A temporary exhibition titled “From X-ray Inspections to Modern Robots: 50 Years of the Bomb Disposal Unit” has opened at the Police Museum of Slovenia in Kotnikova Street, Ljubljana. The exhibition, officially opened on Friday, 4 September 2026, marks the 50th anniversary of the Bomb Disposal Unit. It presents the unit’s development over five decades through museum artefacts, equipment, photographs and other materials. The opening ceremony was attended by staff from the Police Museum, representatives of the Police Academy and the Ministry of the Interior and Public Administration, members of the Police, and veterans’ organisations. Officials also included State Secretary Denis Zobarič and Deputy Director General of the Police Beno Meglič. Zobarič said the exhibition is both a showcase of the technical and professional evolution of bomb disposal and a tribute to police bomb disposal technicians for their decades of service. He emphasised that, despite technological change, the human factor remains decisive, saying no equipment or robot can replace specialists’ expertise, experience, composure and decision-making. He also highlighted the need for proper conditions for safe work and ongoing investment in training, modern equipment and capacity building. Meglič described bomb disposal as one of the most demanding and responsible areas of police work, where there is “simply no room for error.” He used the anniversary to thank generations of bomb disposal technicians for contributions to public safety and the development of bomb disposal within the Slovenian Police. The exhibition outlines the unit’s tasks, objectives and key milestones from its establishment in 1975 to the present. It traces how operations have evolved from early X-ray inspections and manual examination of suspicious objects to modern robotic systems designed to support safer and more effective work. The organisers say the display also helps preserve Slovenian police history for future generations.
