The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, a unique pop-up exhibit of “radical transparency” is opening this Friday in New York City.
The Reading Room is located in Tribeca, but for security reasons, the exact street address is not being published in advance.
The Reading Room is “a physical, undeniable record of corruption, cover-ups, and crime — all 3.5 million pages, 3,437 volumes, and 17,000 pounds of the released and partially redacted Epstein files Trump has been working overtime to distract us from,” according to the website of the organization mounting the exhibit.
Admission is free. Advance reservations are required. Every 20 minutes, a new group is admitted for a one-hour session. A limited number of walk-in spots are available, although not guaranteed.
Reservations must be made via this website. Confirmed visitors will receive the full address via email and text message, and again in a reminder before their scheduled appointment, organizers say.
Based on releases of Epstein-related documents and investigations several high-profile individuals in politics, finance, and academia have faced significant professional, legal, or reputational consequences.
These include former Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles in 2025 and is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson who was fired in 2025 and arrested in February for sharing confidential information; Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, charged with “aggravated corruption” in February; Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who retired from Harvard and the OpenAI board following email releases; Harvard professor Martin Nowak, who was suspended following revelations in the Epstein Files; and former US Senator George J. Mitchell, who lost institutional affiliations, including having his name removed from a research institute at Queen’s University Belfast; and many more.
The relationship between Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein began in the late 1980s, but since the 1970s, at least 28 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct, for acts that have included rape, kissing and groping without consent; looking under women’s skirts; and walking in on naked teenage pageant contestants.
He also has a history of insulting and belittling women when speaking to the media and on social media, and has made lewd comments about women, disparaged their physical appearance, and referred to them using derogatory epithets.
He has denied all of the allegations.
