Sibelius Monument - Finland

I've been to Helsinki last year but didn't get to see this monument. 
The 1st card was sent by Maija and the 2nd is one of my 1st oficial cards from Finland, received in 2006.

The world famous composer Jean Sibelius' (1865-1957) monument by Eila Hiltunen is located at the Sibelius park. It was unveiled 7 September 1967. 
 
FI-93417, sent by Annette. 
 The Sibelius Monument, resembling organ pipes, is made of welded steel with over 600 pipes and with the bust of the composer on one side. The monument is one of Helsinki's most popular statues and one of the most well-known tourist attractions. - in: https://www.myhelsinki.fi
