The building at Yrjönkatu 27-29 in Helsinki, Finland, currently home to Luckan
Since early 2019, Luckan in Helsinki operates in the building that used to serve the Amos Anderson Art Museum.

Luckan ( Swedish for "ticket window" or "box office") is a network of Finland-Swedish cultural centres in Finland. Currently, there are located in 11 cities and towns in Finland: Helsinki, Kirkkonummi, Kokkola, Kristinestad, Närpes, Porvoo, Karis in Raseborg, Tampere, Turku and Oulu. [1]

Luckan offers its visitors the cultural events, theme days and press conferences, free usage of Internet, information on the Finland-Swedish society. [2] [3] Luckan also offers to read the Swedish-language newspapers and over sixty branch magazines. The center also upholds a website featuring information about the Finland-Swedish society, in English, called Svenskfinland.fi.

Luckan gives information on various events, education, Finland-Swedish organisations and societies, social welfare and integration in Finnish society aimed at immigrants. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

Luckan was founded in 1992 in Helsinki by Nylands svenska landskapsförbund and Mellannylandsprojektet. The name Luckan refers to the organization's first location in Helsinki, a window near the ticket windows of the Swedish Theatre.

In November 1998 Luckan moved into Lasipalatsi/Glaspalatset. By March 2004 Luckan obtained new premises in the building of Forum shopping centre. [11] In early 2019, Luckan moved within the Forum block to the building previously used by the Amos Anderson Art Museum. [12] [13] Both organizations have financial and other ties to Konstsamfundet, [11] [14] a wealthy patron of culture and the arts in Finland.
