The Sibelius Monument, located in Sibelius Park (Sibeliuspuisto) in the Töölö district of Helsinki, is a tribute to the famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957). It’s one of the most iconic landmarks in Helsinki, attracting visitors for its unique artistic design and its peaceful surroundings.
Created by Finnish sculptor Eila Hiltunen and unveiled in 1967, the monument consists of over 600 hollow steel pipes welded together to form a wave-like pattern. The abstract sculpture is meant to capture the essence of Sibelius' music, evoking the feeling of sound waves and the organic forms found in nature.
