Tapaaminen Turussa 1812, Bronze sculpture in VI District, Finland
The sculpture stands at street level along the Aura River, featuring two life-sized figures seated on chairs discussing European affairs.
Created in 2012, this bronze artwork commemorates the 1812 meeting between Russian Emperor Alexander I and Swedish Crown Prince Charles John in Turku.
