A new pop-up exhibit in New York has all of the more than three million pages of investigative files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein available to read in print.

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is a display housing the documents released by the Department of Justice into its investigations of Epstein, who died in 2019.

The exhibit has all of the pages bound and printed in more than 3,000 volumes for attendees to read. It also has on display images of Epstein and Trump, a timeline of their friendship and tributes to survivors of Epstein's abuse.

The space is free to attend and will be open through late May. It is run by the Institute for Primary Facts, a nonprofit group aimed at government transparency through immersive exhibits.

The Memorial Reading Room is the latest in a string of art exhibits drawing attention to Epstein and Trump's friendship.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Epstein and has not faced any charges related to the investigation.

What is the Epstein reading room?

A tribute dedicated to the survivors and victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes is featured at the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room in New York City, , May 8, 2026.

Organizers said they launched the display in an effort to keep attention on the Epstein case, including the alleged misconduct committed by many in Epstein's circle, as well as to support the abuse victims, according to its website.

"The truth is hard to deny when it's printed and bound for you to see," the website says.

The room contains shelves holding the 3,437 volumes of printed-out pages, as well as a timeline documenting the intersections between Trump and Epstein's lives over several decades, according to its website.

In the center of the space is a tribute to the survivors and victims of Epstein's abuse in the form of hundreds of lit candles.

The space opened in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood on May 8 and will run through May 21. It is open from noon to 8 p.m. local time Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
