An extensive collection of 3.5 million pages from Jeffrey Epstein's files is now on display at a pop-up exhibition in New York, offering a rare glimpse into his activities and the lives he affected.
An exterior view shows the "Donald J Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room" which contains bound volumes of the Epstein files, containing a total of 3.5 million pages in 3,437 bound volumes, displayed as a tribute to the survivors and victims of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in New York City, US, on May 11, 2026.
The library, dubbed "The Donald J Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room," has bound all the documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in 3,437 volumes, all numbered and organised on shelves. Visitors can register online to view these files, which are not accessible to the general public due to errors by the Department of Justice that failed to redact some victims' names.
Those interested in seeing the files at the library in Tribeca can do so by registering online. The exhibit offers exceptions for professionals like journalists and lawyers who may need access for their work.
The pop-up also features a display on the longstanding relationship between President Donald Trump and Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving minors. According to the exhibit, the pair were friends for decades before reportedly falling out in 2004 over a property deal.
"We're a pro-democracy organisation, with the goal of educating the public using these kinds of pop-up museums and other in-real-life experiences to help people understand the corruption in the United States, the dangers to democracy," David Garrett, one of the creators behind the project, told AFP. "And what we attempted to do here was to create, or help to create public outcry to have real accountability."
Garrett said he believes there needs to be a significant public outcry about how the Trump administration has handled the document release, with many accusing justice officials of covering up Trump's ties to Epstein.
The exhibit is open to the public until May 21.
