Abstract
This article is about what the ethical criteriums are on which we can base our moral judgment about artworks that are connected to the slavery past. In order to answer this, we will be looking into the historical and contemporary moral status of slavery, as well as different positions on aesthetics and morality and evaluating real artworks from the Rijksmuseum. The position that does most justice to the complex reality of the museum is moderate moralism.
Keywords: slavery, aesthetics, morality, moderate moralism, museum ethics
