but statues and monuments are celebratory, not informative.

They are celebratory to the time they were made, it they are informative of history to everybody after then.

A bust of Julius Caesar is kept in a museum in Berlin, do you believe that means Germany is celebrating Roman atrocities? Or preserving a piece of classical art?


Are you really equivocating a statue displayed in an art museum as a work of art to a statue displayed in a public park?

I'm comparing a work of historical art to a work of historical art on their artistic and historic merits, yes.


I figured the actual question was obvious, but I guess I can streamline it further for you: Are you really comparing an art museum to a public park?
