Dutch museums may push back against the terminology of the “Dutch Golden Age” primarily due to the legacy of slavery. This term can overlook or downplay the darker aspects of Dutch history, including the involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and the exploitation of colonies, which contributed to the wealth during that period.
