In 2018 the National Museum gained support within the program NAKI of the Ministry of Culture for the project entitled The Museum of Working Class Movement in 21 Century, which is aimed at the presentation of The Collection of the Museum of Working Class Movement and other collections of similar nature. We may expect that thanks to its nature burdened by their communist past, the presentation outputs of the project will give rise to controversy. Thus the researchers of the project are faced with the question of how to present the Collection in adequate manner. Among the collection objects will be presented also artistic materials of the Collection which, thanks to their aesthetic nature, occupy special position, since the works of art have not only ideological function as other objects of the Collection, but have also the aesthetic function and related aesthetic value. This essay is directed at the analysis of aesthetic value of ideologically burdened works of art and also at their specific exhibition possibilities. We shall deal with the notion of pure art, which, on the level of the subconscious, keeps on influencing strongly our evaluation of the works of art till these days, and further with the concept of art as the path of revolutionary transformation of reality, and finally with functional aesthetic basis.
