Interpretace kulturního dědictví na hradech a zámcích v České republice

Diploma thesis deals with the issue of interpretation of cultural heritage, namely castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic. The aim of the work is to map possible forms of interpretation of cultural heritage, which are currently applied to historical monuments in the Czech Republic. Two objects were selected for demonstration of used forms of interpretation - chateau in Hradec nad Moravicí, which is in the administration of the National Heritage Institute and chateau Slavkov – Austerlitz, which acts as a contributory organization and is subject to municipal administration. The work does not aim to compare the chosen objects or their approach to the interpretation of cultural heritage.In the theoretical part of the work is defined interpretation in general terms, a brief introduction of cultural heritage and forms of interpretation, with which visitors can meet in the Czech castles and palaces. The practical part focuses on the selected monument objects - after their brief characteristic is followed by a detailed analysis of approaches to interpretation. The analysis was based on publicly published data, statistics, controlled interviews with workers and personal visits to selected objects. The final chapter summarises the lessons learnt.
