Sibelius Monument, Steel sculpture in Sibelius Park, Helsinki, Finland.

The Sibelius Monument features more than 600 steel pipes arranged in a wave formation, reaching a height of 8.5 meters in the park.

Eila Hiltunen created this monument in 1967 following a design competition organized by the Sibelius Society after the composer's death in 1957.

The monument combines abstract art with traditional representation through its pipe structure and an additional bronze face of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.

Visitors can reach the monument by taking tram lines 1 or 2 to Töölö district and walking through the surrounding park grounds.

The hollow steel tubes of the monument produce subtle sounds when wind passes through them, creating an unintended musical element.
