Sibelius Monument Commemorating the Famous Composer

38 Mechelininkatu Sibelius Park Helsinki 00250 +358 (0)9 169 3757 (Helsinki City Tourist & Convention Bureau) http://www.eilahiltunen.net/monument.html

One of Helsinki's landmarks, the monument to honor national composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was the result of a public fundraising campaign and a two-stage competition in 1961-62. At all stages, the project stirred an unprecedented public debate, as the entire Finnish population seemed to be divided into two camps, the conformists urging for a figurative solution, and the modernists accepting an abstraction as well. Finland's first abstract public monument, Eila Hiltunen's Copper Fountain, had been unveiled in 1961. Review © 2009, Wcities
