Who doesn't know them, the little square books? Pixis are rewards, bedtime reading, contents of Advent calendars or birthday bags and coveted collector's items. For many children, a Pixi is the first book they have chosen for themselves.
With over 3,000 different titles since its inception and 14 million books sold each year, Pixi is the most comprehensive picture book series of all time. The first Pixi book was published in Germany in 1954 with the title Miezekatzen. The Danish publisher Per Hjald Carlsen founded his publishing house in Hamburg in the early 1950s. He wanted to offer high-quality picture books at the lowest possible price. His aim: to whet people's appetite for books.
The anniversary exhibition 70 Years of Pixi Books, which has already enjoyed great success at the Altonaer Museum in Hamburg and the Literaturhaus in Munich, is an inspiring nostalgic journey through the history of the famous mini-books.
