Sibelius Monument
Sibelius-monumentti
An abstract monument made of more than 600 steel pipes, shaped like a pipe organ, honoring the composer Sibelius.
The Sibelius Monument stands in Sibelius Park by the sea on the west side of the city. Created in 1967 by sculptor Eila Hiltunen, it is made of more than 600 welded steel pipes, resembling both a pipe organ and a forest or the aurora. The pipes sound when the wind blows through them. Nearby stands a bust of Sibelius. The park faces the sea, and the Regatta log cabin café next door is famous for cinnamon buns and bonfires. Admission is free; take bus 24 or walk along the shore.
