Outside Helsinki's city centre, the Sibelius monument can be found in a park near the seashore. It is a curious example of modern art.
Despite continuing opposition against her work, the artist persevered and finished the monument after four years. It was finally unveiled almost exactly 10 years after the death of Sibelius. It developed into an attraction for many visitors, not just because of its particular shape, but also because it is possible to touch it, to see the monument from close up, and some people even stick their heads into the lower tubes. It is said that the monument reflects the seasons pass, it reflects changing lights, and this is what makes the monument come alive for the eyes of the visitor.
