Coming in May: Our new, searchable database of all current Reading Room titles!
The Rourke's Archives & Reading Room are beginning to make our institution's 60 year material history available available to students, artists, collectors, scholars, and guests. With our exhibition and events files (now available for browsing!), our collection of over 300 texts on various subjects, and small rotating exhibitions, we offer this a special space within the museum to reflect upon the incredible artistic legacy of our region.

Thanks to Legacy Grant funds from the Lake Region Arts Council, we have acquired key pieces of equipment as we embark upon the exciting work of digitizing our archive collections, making our books searchable online, and providing a computer workstation for artists and scholars of all ages.

We encourage you to visit starting 2 April 2021 to enjoy a special display of Surrealist artwork from our Permanent Collections to honor a recent gift of texts on Surrealism and Dada.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.
Exhibitions and operations are supported in part by the generous support of the following regional, state, and local entities:
This activity is funded by The Arts Partnership,
with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo.
This activity is funded in part by a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council through a Minnesota state legislative appropriation.
This project is supported in part by
a grant from the North Dakota Council on
the Arts, which receives funding from the
state legislature and the National
​Endowment for the Arts.
