Coming Soon — A Traveling Pop-Up Museum
A Fake Museum of Real Truth
Obsessively Fact-Checked.
Meticulously Sourced.
Wickedly Funny.
Objectively Terrifying.
A traveling pop-up museum that turns the documented corruption of the Trump era into something you can walk through — deeply sourced, fact-checked, and funny enough to keep you from crying. Cities and dates to be announced. Be the first to know.
The mailing list is free and easy to leave. Support keeps the work going.
The Mission
The Trumpsonian is a museum of Trump-era corruption on the move — pop-up exhibits designed to bring the documented record to people where they are. Every artifact is fake. Every fact behind it is real, sourced, and impossible to unsee.
The Trumpsonian is a venture of The Institute for Primary Facts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to putting the public record where the public can actually see it.
Our Methodology
The Trumpsonian sits where sharp comedy meets a deeply sourced record of corruption. The jokes land because the facts behind them are real — and every one of them can be traced back to the public record.
We use immersive design, wit, and a museum-grade sense of theatre to make the record of corruption impossible to look away from. The artifacts are invented. The corruption they document is not.
Behind every exhibit is meticulous research: primary documents, on-the-record reporting, and verifiable facts. Obsessively fact-checked, meticulously sourced, and built to withstand scrutiny.
What We're Planning
We're designing the Trumpsonian to pop up in cities across the country — immersive, walkable, and unforgettable. Here's the shape of what's coming.
A traveling exhibition designed to reach people where they are. Cities to be announced.
Exhibits you move through — the public record staged as something you can see, feel, and never quite shake.
We'll share cities, dates, and how to visit as they're locked in. Join the list to hear it first.
