Amsterdam Museum Stops Referring To Dutch ‘Golden Age’ For ‘Excluding’ Third World Migrants

September 13, 2019 By CFT Team -- 4 Comments

The Amsterdam Museum will stop using the term ‘Golden Age’ to describe 17th Century Dutch culture because it “whitewashes” some “negative” aspects of history not favorable to recent Third World immigrants:

According to curator Tom van der Molen, the term Golden Age is linked to national pride and “the many negative aspects of the 17th century such as poverty, war, slavery and human trafficking” are ignored, he said to NU.nl. In the 17th century the Netherlands was a world power in economic and military terms.

In the coming period, the Amsterdam Museum will make the appropriate name changes. For example, the name of the Hermitage exhibit provided by the Amsterdam Museum will change from Hollanders of the Golden Age to Group Portraits of the 17th Century, according to the newspaper.

The Amsterdam Museum says it wants to be a place that is relevant and welcoming to everyone. “That is why the Amsterdam Museum gives room to people and stories that are not or are insufficiently heard.”

The announcement by the Amsterdam Museum provoked a storm of reactions. On social media, some called dropping the term Golden Age a “good idea’, but others spoke of “falsification of history” and “self-hatred”.

“I fell of my chair”, VVD parliamentarian Zohair El Yassini said to NOS. “First the street name signs had to be removed, then the stations and now the entire Golden Age. I would’ve preferred that the Amsterdam Museum explain what the Golden Age has brought our country and what the negative sides of it are. That is also the task of a museum.” According to the MP, that can be done without name changes. “We should not suddenly get Golden Age embarrassment. We will no longer know our history.”

Judikje Kiers, director of the Amsterdam Museum, acknowledged to the broadcaster that the term Golden Age can still be used well in some contexts, but it does not cover all the stories from that century. “Of course, the 17th century was the Golden Age of painting, we had incredible prosperity in that period and we had relative religious tolerance that meant a lot for Amsterdam”, Kiers said, but added: “I also think it’s important to give space to other stories.”

According to Kiers, the museum sometimes gets questions like whether everyone in Amsterdam was rich in the 17th century, and whether there weren’t any people of color also living here. “We are now trying to give substance to that, and the term 17th century fits better with that.”

The Rijksmuseum will keep using the term Golden Age for the time being, director Taco Dibbits said to NOS. “The name refers to a period in the history of great prosperity“, he said. “That does not alter the fact that we acknowledge the dark side of this. The Rijksmuseum approaches history from different perspectives. For example, we are opening an exhibition on slavery next year.”

Do museums in Third World countries go out of their way to be “inclusive” of White contributions to their history?  Of course not because museums are White concepts to begin with, and Third World cultures don’t have enough documented history and culture worth preserving to fill a broom closet.  Since there is no Third World equivalent of Dutch culture and its enormous global impact, it should now become a source of national embarrassment and shame rather than pride.

The museum can “give space” to “other voices,” but no one is going to be interested in them, least of all Third World migrants, who thought so little of their native countries that they left to live among the “racist” Dutch.  To suggest that the Dutch people had a “Golden Age” without the “help” and “contributions” of people of color would suggest that they don’t need “diversity” after all.

    Do the Dutch honestly think that Black Africans walk into a museum in Amsterdam and expect to see their culture and history represented? If they have such expectations, they could have gotten them only from the jewish media.

    This is simply another attempt to further wipe away Dutch patriotism. In the 17th century (possibly sparking the Dutch “Golden Age”), the Dutch provinces won their Eighty Years War against Spain, basically the equivalent of the American War for Independence victory. This victory has been a source of national pride for the Dutch for centuries, a pride which internationalist interests obviously wish to be done away with.

    I find it completely ridiculous that a period of time of prosperity so great is named “The Golden Age”, yet somehow apparently has a side so “dark” that it no qualifies it as a “Golden Age”?

    Why do we supposedly not know who were responsible for ancient civilizations? The ones that ‘popular’ explanations attribute to such foolishness as “aliens”? Because all relevant architecture and art had been “defaced”…exactly what is going on to all current white history yet again.

    Why do you think we still don’t recognize exactly who we are???
