Sibelius Park, a symbol of the Finnish national spirit, The Sibelius Park on the outskirts of Helsinki is built to commemorate the Finnish great musician Sibelius. There are two sculptures in the park, one is similar to the organ. The sculpture, the other is the head of the Sibelius master. Upper The monument consists of 600 steel pipes and was designed by the famous female sculptor Ella Hiltunen. The shape of the Sibelius Monument completely subverts the pattern of similar works and becomes the most proud urban sculpture of the Finns. This monument and the metal head of Sibelius on the red rock inlaid in the park are surrounded by the park. The shape of more than 600 silver-white stainless steel tubes resembles a giant organ and is a symbol of the immortal work of the great Finnish national musicians. The second statue was completed on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the death of Sibelius in 1967. The statue of Sibelius is dignified, and the forehead has engraved an upward curved semicircle, highlighting his deepness and wisdom. The two sides are decorated with abstract art, so that many people who know the history of the statue have a lot of associations, and its small replicas are sent to the United Nations building for permanent display as a national gift. is a monument, but there is no stone and no introduction to life, but a huge surrealist imagery to simulate the iron pipe combination of the organ. Look far away, like a beating note, a moving melody. I have to admire the designer's unique ingenuity, turning the cold monument into a passionate music, turning the boring inscription into a beautiful melody and an immortal hymn.
