Works by Anne Koskinen, Jussi Niva and Jacob Dahlgren will be seen at Turku Art Museum as part of the group show Fortunate Coincidences – Lars Göran Johnsson Collection from 15 September 2023 until 7 January 2024.

Lars Göran Johnsson Collection is one of Finland’s most significant private collections, which Johnsson donated to Turku Art Museum in 2016. Now comprising over 700 works, and continuing to grow, the collection mainly consists of Finnish contemporary art but also includes some older works. “The artwork must have something I’ve never seen before. Sometimes, a strong emotional reaction arises before reason has anything to say”, Johnson has said.
