Also a large collection of Dutch artists' works and documentation of performances could be viewed in its mediatheque, among them are Livinus van de Bundt, Bill Spinhoven, Bert Schutter, Han Hoogerbrugge, Bas Jan Ader, Daniel Brun, Guido van der Werve and Erwin Olaf.The museum ceased operations on 31 December 2012 due to discontinuation of funding from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Some of its tasks and collection were absorbed by the LIMA media art platform in Amsterdam.
