Sibelius Park
Sibelius Park holds Eila Hiltunen's monument to the composer, made from 24 tons of steel tubes, like a big silver surrealist organ; next to it, there's an irrefutably horrid sculpture of Sibelius's dismembered head. The shady and pleasant park is rudely cut by a main road, Mechelininkatu.
