Istituto Ricerche Esplosivistiche, Explosives research museum in Parma, Italy.
The Istituto Ricerche Esplosivistiche is a research institute and museum in Parma dedicated to explosives technology, forensic investigation, and safety protocols. The exhibition spaces display equipment, documents, and instruments connected to the history and techniques of controlled explosions.
Collector Danilo Coppe started gathering materials on explosives in the 1980s as a private project to document technical knowledge. In 2005 this collection opened to the public as a museum to share educational information with a wider audience.
The institute attracts specialists from across Europe who work in explosives and security fields. It functions as a meeting point where professionals exchange knowledge about controlled detonation and protective measures.
The visit works best for people interested in technical subjects, security matters, or forensic science since many displays require specialized knowledge. An onsite library with extensive documentation is available for those wanting to research topics in greater depth.
The collection includes mining equipment from earlier centuries that shows how explosives were used long before modern safety standards existed. These historical tools give visitors direct insight into how explosion techniques developed across generations.
