An important aspect of Argos' multiple functions is the constantly expanding Media Library. Over the years, Argos has created a unique media library, which contains 2.500 film and video titles turning it into the largest collection of its kind in Belgium. The Media Library also contains 3.500 books, catalogues, specialist art magazines and critical compilations on audio-visual art and visual culture. A full online catalogue is available on this website.
Argos is a partner of GAMA (Gateway to Archives of Media Art), a central online portal to Media Art in Europe that is supported by the European Community's eContentplus programme. The partnership with GAMA is part of our ongoing efforts to open up the Argos archive to a larger audience.
