Pages and pages of the Epstein files have been printed, bound and displayed at Mriya Gallery on Reade between West Broadway and Church. The exhibit is there until May 21 and available by appointment here. (Thanks to J. for seeing this first and B. for spotting the location this morning.)

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room opened today with 3.5 million pages in 3400 volumes of the partially redacted Epstein files that were released starting last December — “a physical, undeniable record of corruption, cover-ups, and crime,” said the organizers — The Institute of Primary Facts.

But there is a catch: the public cannot open the binders — only journalists with credentials (not sure I will make that cut!) and members of Congress or law enforcement or survivors or survivors’ advocates are permitted to peruse the volumes.

What visitors can see is a timeline of Trump and Epstein’s relationship in the back of the room — and the scope of the files. (It’s nothing you haven’t heard before, but seeing it all in one place is especially nauseating.) There is a reading room downstairs and a memorial to the victims made from electric candles. Admission is free. Every 20 minutes, a new group is admitted for a one-hour session. I did walk right in this morning; make sure you have ID with you.

The Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit registered this year that, according to its website, advances “civic literacy and fostering a deeper public understanding of America’s democratic institutions.” They said its educational methodology is the development and operation of “immersive, traveling museum exhibits designed to provide accessible, fact-based explorations of the foundational elements of American democracy.” I think that means — for now — this one exhibit, but organizers hope it will travel.
