A temporary exhibition in New York is drawing attention after displaying all publicly released files related to late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a large-scale physical archive.

The pop-up installation, titled the “Donald J Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” was created by the Washington-based transparency group Institute of Primary Facts. Located in Tribeca, the exhibit contains roughly 3.5 million pages of documents released by the US Department of Justice under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Organisers said the documents have been printed, bound and arranged into 3,437 numbered volumes placed across library-style shelves. The exhibit is intended as a public statement on transparency, accountability and awareness surrounding Epstein’s crimes and the broader political debate linked to the file releases.

According to the group’s website, the project aims to make the scale of the documents visible to the public. However, visitors are generally not allowed to read the files directly after the Department of Justice reportedly failed to properly redact some victims’ names in released material. Limited access is available to certain professionals, including journalists and lawyers.
The exhibit also features a section highlighting the past relationship between US President Donald Trump and Epstein. The two were known to have social ties for years before reportedly ending their friendship in 2004 following a property dispute.
Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing despite his name appearing in some released documents. Inclusion in the files does not itself imply criminal conduct, as many names appear in records for various reasons including contact logs, flight manifests or witness references.
David Garrett, one of the organisers behind the project, said the initiative is designed to encourage public discussion about transparency and accountability in the handling of the files.

Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving minors. His death and associated investigations continue to generate public scrutiny and conspiracy theories in the United States. The exhibition is open to registered visitors until May 21.
