British museum viciously mocked for warning landscape paintings may evoke ‘nationalist’ feelings

An art museum in the U.K. is warning visitors that pictures that depict the pastoral British countryside can trigger “dark nationalist” feelings.

Cambridge University’s Fitzwilliam Museum is revamping some of its displays to be compatible with leftist sensitivities of the modern era although the museum’s director bristles over the idea that the overhaul is “woke,” a term that is rapidly becoming a dirty word.

“I would love to think that there’s a way of telling these larger, more inclusive histories that doesn’t feel as if it requires a push-back from those who try to suggest that any interest at all in [this work is] what would now be called ‘woke’,” Luke Syson told The Telegraph.

A new sign advises “rolling English hills” can evoke feelings of “pride towards a homeland” in an apparent effort to promote a certain stigma about the past that’s incompatible with current-day cultural cleansers.


In a gallery that displays “a bucolic work” by British artist John Constable who is renowned for his bucolic paintings of country settings, patrons are advised that “there is a darker side” to the “nationalist feeling” that could be evoked by images of the countryside.
