Museum RIC Celtic oppidum Závist

Na Panský 11, 25741 Dolní Břežany

The Regional Information Centre in Dolní Břežany presents the rich local history of the settlement from prehistoric times to the present day. The research of archaeologists and their significant discoveries on the Hradiště hill in the area of Záviste and Šancí led to major discoveries. Therefore, the exhibition also focuses on the methods of archaeological research.

The exhibition of the information centre invites you to take a trip through the local space-time. People of different ethnicities and cultures have lived and met at the symbolic crossroads of long-distance routes and have always left traces that are now archaeological monuments. The scale and the wrought-iron plaque next to the reception desk of the information centre symbolise Time, the rendering is inspired by prehistoric calendars and the deposition of cultural layers in the local soil. In the afternoon, the sun on the floor and walls of the room depicts patterns of winding paths from the Vltava fords.

A unique and central point of the exhibition is the so-called CAVE HISTORY (cave automatic virtual environment). It is a multi-projection device that is used to visualize historical scenes. Visitors have a unique opportunity to walk for a few minutes around the Celtic fortress and learn about the life of our ancestors.

From the 3D computer reconstruction, a virtual tour of parts of the oppidum Envy was created, which is realized through HTC Vive virtual reality goggles. This device enables a walk in a virtual world where the user can directly move around the 3D model and interact with various objects.

VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE OPPIDUM
A virtual tour of Oppidus Envy is also available on the touchscreen, with interactive elements such as the possibility of comparing the current state and appearance of the fortress in the 2nd century BC, information boxes in virtual viewports or maps of the oppidus with the current position of the view marked.

A walk through the past and the future
The building of the Regional Information Centre in Dolní Břežany and the Závist hill are the two ends of an imaginary arrow or spear. Two poles on the historical spatial-temporal axis, determining the life of local inhabitants for millennia. The exhibition in the regional information centre is followed by two outdoor sightseeing tours. Download the "Oppidum Zavist" app with virtual and augmented reality on your smartphone and head out into the field in search of archaeological knowledge. The app also includes an accompanying game that allows you to experience a thrilling story linked to time travel.
