Jan Sibelius became popular during his lifetime, writing the unofficial anthem of Finland, which was banned during the reign of Nicholas II. Finns respectfully cherish the memory of the famous composer, naming streets after him, creating memorial plaques and monuments. The most famous monument to Sibelius was created by Eila Hiltunen and opened in 1967, ten years after his death. The monument is very unusual, probably its uniqueness and became the reason for ambiguous assessments and increased interest. Today this monument is one of the most visited tourist sites in Helsinki. The Sibelius Monument is an ensemble of copper pipes fused together and the bronze head of the composer. Six hundred copper pipes of various lengths and diameters create the impression of movement and dynamism. In addition, the wind entering the pipes creates quite melodic sounds. Initially, the construction was supposed to symbolize the influence of nature on the composer's work, but most see the organ in the monument. The monument is surrounded by a park with a small lake where ducks live. The park was named after Jan Sibelius in 1945, in connection with the 80th anniversary of his birthday.     the wind entering the pipes creates quite melodic sounds.
