PIX — Australia’s first pictorial news weekly — hit newsstands around the country in January 1938.
With its eye-catching lipstick-red logo, PIX delivered a new style of journalism, using photographs to tell daring stories of modern life. Always intended to shock, entertain and inform, PIX stayed popular with its readers for over 30 years.
This exhibition explores the PIX story — through the people and pictures that made the magazine — for the first time.
This free exhibition closes at the State Library of New South Wales on the 30th August 2025.
