Sibelius Monumentti - Monument to the famous poet

#ChangingFalls The Sibelius Monumentti, located in Sibelius Park in Helsinki's Töölö district, is an art installation dedicated to the famed Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It's a must-see landmark for anyone visiting Finland. The monument itself is a giant metal pipe organ, gleaming in the afternoon sunlight. As the surrounding autumn leaves turn shades of yellow, orange, and red—we visited in mid-October—it was postcard-perfect! They say that if you're lucky and there's a breeze, the faint "whistling" sound coming through the metal pipes will be like natural music. We stood there for a long time, but didn't hear the wind at all. ⸻ Getting from Helsinki Station • 🚶♀️ If the weather is nice, you might want to take a stroll around the city.
