Dutch Museum Bans All Reference to “Golden Age”
荷蘭博物館全面禁止提及“黃金時(shí)代”
The Amsterdam Museum is banning the use of the term “Dutch Golden Age” in reference to the 17th century. The era has long been referred to as the Golden Age in Dutch history due to the Netherlands’ great prosperity in the areas of trade, military, art, and science during this period. In reality, these were colonial times that also featured war, poverty, and slavery. The decision by the Amsterdam Museum is controversial. Another well-known museum in the Netherlands has responded by saying it will not try to erase the past and will continue to use the term Dutch Golden Age to refer to the 17th century despite the negative aspects of these times.
阿姆斯特丹博物館禁止使用“荷蘭黃金時(shí)代”一詞來指代17世紀(jì)。荷蘭在這一時(shí)期的貿(mào)易、軍事、藝術(shù)和科學(xué)領(lǐng)域都繁榮發(fā)展，所以該時(shí)代一直被稱為荷蘭歷史上的黃金時(shí)代。實(shí)際上，該階段也是殖民時(shí)期，充斥著戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、貧困和奴隸制。阿姆斯特丹博物館的決定引發(fā)了爭(zhēng)議。荷蘭另一家著名博物館回應(yīng)稱，它不會(huì)試圖抹掉過去，并將繼續(xù)使用“荷蘭黃金時(shí)代”一詞來指代17世紀(jì)，盡管該時(shí)代也存在負(fù)面現(xiàn)象。
