Step inside the Epstein exhibit, complete with printed Justice Department files
An exhibition in New York displays about 3.5 million partially redacted Jeffrey Epstein files, as well as timelines and memorials from victims.
More than three million pages of investigative files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are all available in print in a new pop-up exhibit in New York.
The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room displays documents released by the Justice Department related to the investigation into Epstein, who died in 2019.
In this exhibit, every page of over 3,000 books will be bound, printed, and available for reading by attendees. Also on display are images of Epstein and Trump, a timeline of their friendship, and a memorial to survivors of Epstein’s abuse.
This space is free to attend and will remain open until late May. It is run by the Institute for Primary Facts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to government transparency through immersive exhibits.
The memorial viewing room is the latest in a series of art exhibits drawing attention to the friendship between Epstein and Trump.
Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein and has not faced any charges related to the investigation.
What is the Epstein Reading Room?
Organizers said they launched the exhibit to draw attention to the Epstein case, including the alleged misconduct of many of those around him, and to support victims of abuse, the group’s website said.
“The truth is hard to deny when you’re bound to see it in print,” the website says.
The room also has shelves containing 3,437 printed materials, as well as a timeline chronicling the intersection of Trump and Epstein’s lives over the decades, according to the room’s website.
In the center of the space is a memorial to survivors and victims of Epstein’s abuse in the form of hundreds of lit candles.
