It is beautiful, rough and monumental, and oddly enough, it fits very well into the landscape. Everything is in Finnish, the greatest Finnish composer.

A park dedicated to the Finnish composer Jan Sibelius. A beautiful place on the shore of the bay. A sculptural composition consisting of 580 pipes that supposedly make music when the wind blows. Very interesting))

A very beautiful park named after Jan Sibelius. A very beautiful monument to the memory of Jan Sibelius. Here is a part of the composition - the organ. If you stand up correctly, then in the presence of wind you can hear a divine melody

Jan Sibelius (birth name Johan Julius Christian Sibelius) is the author of the unofficial Finnish national anthem, banned during the reign of Nicholas II.
"Many people think that this is an organ [about 600 round steel pipes are used in the composition].
But it's actually a forest.
Sibelius drew inspiration from nature and loved to walk.
When the wind blows, the trumpets sing, they say it's "the music of Sibelius"" (https://zen.yandex.ru/media/nefer/pamiatnik-sibeliusu-eto-ne-organ-eto-les-5afa66691aa80c68415ea0f5).
I wonder what the trumpets sing when the wind of change blows?!

In Helsinki, in the square named after the famous Finnish composer Jan Sibelius, on the 10th anniversary of his death, a monument was erected that can be interpreted either as organ pipes or as tree trunks. Since these pipes are hollow inside, when the wind blows (and I have the impression that it is always in this city)one gets the feeling that they are making a melody - it is called "Sibelius music".

A strange creation...
Not being a great connoisseur of contemporary art, I will only note that with some diligence in PR, even the statue of Peter I in Moscow may seem entertaining and attractive to tourists...

A very worthy realization of the monument (in an original and tasteful way) to a worthy person. It looks especially beautiful at night.

Every time I come to Helsinki, I go to the pendulum, just stand under it and look at the sky through the pipes. Special energy!

A beautiful monument on a rock. They say that in windy weather you can hear music under it, but it was not possible to check
