With the musealisation of palaces and castles, alongside the preservation of their substance, the interpretation and communication of cultural heritage has become a central task of the palace administrations. Thematic priorities reflect social needs, political will and academic research – and they are based on the staging of assumptions, on the interpretation of historical facts, and on scholarly findings. Interpretations of history and historical images in castles and palaces find expression in heritage conservation measures, (re)constructions, furnishing and communication concepts.
