A former TriBeCa gallery at 101 Reade Street now opens as a reading room, holding Jeffrey Epstein files printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. Each book is about two inches thick, and the collection weighs more than eight tons. The display sits only blocks from the site where Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial for law enforcement and investigators.

Backed by entrepreneur David Garrett and the non‑profit Institute for Primary Facts, the exhibit aims to break the online static of 3.5 million DOJ documents released last January. Garrett, a former luxury wine executive, says the project cost in the low six figures. Admission is free but limited to a few dozen visitors per hour, and 90% of slots are already booked.

Visitors find the space divided between a plush gallery and a stark library. Survivors such as Danielle Bensky are allowed to view the files, while the general public cannot browse to protect unredacted content. The project has drawn journalists, lawmakers, and law‑enforcement officials for private appointments, underscoring the lasting demand for tangible evidence in the Epstein case in.
