The museum and the school are two complementary institutions within the system of cultural heritage care. The Knight’s Hall in Brežice Castle is used here as an example for qualitative research on cultural heritage interpretation. The research focused on scientific art-historical information as the basis for cultural messaging. The analysis of the museum interpretation included a printed Knight’s Hall guidebook, as well as hall-related information boards and digital information, while the analysis of the school interpretation included an art history exam catalogue and an art history textbook. The research revealed a minor difference in the interpretation of the Baroque wall paintings, specifically with regard to the ceiling of the hall. At the museum, the ceiling is interpreted as a part of the wall painting, not, however, as its highlight.Muzej in šola sta komplementarni ustanovi v sistemu skrbi za kulturno dediščino. Na primeru Viteške dvorane v gradu Brežice smo kvalitativno preučevali interpretacijo kulturne dediščine. Pri tem smo se osredinili na znanstvene, umetnostnozgodovinske informacije kot podlago za kulturno sporočilo. V analizo muzejske interpretacije smo vključili tiskani vodnik po dvorani, informativne panoje in digitalne informacije o dvorani; v analizo šolske interpretacije pa predmetni izpitni katalog za umetnostno zgodovino in učbenik za umetnostno zgodovino. Raziskava je pokazala na manjšo razliko pri interpretaciji baročne poslikave, in sicer pri stropu dvorane. V muzeju je strop interpretiran kot del poslikave, ne pa kot njen vrhunec
