Summary/Abstract: The first part of the paper is devoted to the complexity of cultural heritage and its interconnections with social, eco- nomic and political issues in a given society. The author presents various approaches to her subject including per- spectives of architecture, art, history. The problems con- nected to possibilities, purpose and means of interpretation and presentation of cultural heritage are also discussed. The author further analyzes contemporary discourse of a cause-effect relationship of new media and cultural heri- tage, that so pretentiously questions the status of original and copy, as well the past-present relationship. The text as a whole is interwoven with discussions of theoretical and technical framework and methodological limitations built-in creation of virtual cultural heritage. The potentials and advantages of new media, but also the unavoidable re- straints they impose are presented. Few instances of virtual reconstruction illustrate the process of integration of new media and cultural heritage as a very important pres- ent-time issue.
