She is a sculptor, Eila Hiltunen, who pays tribute to the famous composer Sibelius by a fairly original contemporary work. Indeed it sticks hundreds of tubes to each other. Located in the Sibelius park, north of the city centre, the work (Passio Speculum) has been established as one of Helsinki's masterpieces. " The steel forest, "as the Helsinkiens called it, caused much controversy. Made up of 580 tubes of steel, of uneven length, in the image of some imaginary, conifères organ reminiscent of the importance of nature in the composer's work. The monument does not usually leave anyone indifferent. The head of Sibelius, close to a rock, seems almost unusual in this context… Eila Hiltunen delivered a similar work at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Passio Musicae
Composé de 600 tubes creux en acier soudés ensemble selon un motif en forme de vague qui contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait penser ne représentent pas des grandes orgues mais des bouleaux, arbres de la vie quotidienne finlandaise, pour symboliser la nature, source d'inspiration de Sibelius

Monument original accessible en bus Hop Hof et en transport en commun. Un passage incontournable mais si possible en dehors des heures de car de chinois. LE parc est sympa. Gratuit

C'est un parc agréable mais il n'y a pas grand chose à voir.
