Jean Sibelius is one of Finland’s (and the world’s) most famous composers. He was the composer of (among many others) the Finnish national anthem.
I can write a whole lot about him that’s already written all over the place, so I’ll just stick to the images.
In the middle of Helsinki is the Sibelius monument. It looks like a bunch of organ pipes and when there’s a good wind you can actually hear some “music” when it’s blowing through the pipes.

Ah… Sitruuna, you make me look bad! 😉
But thanks for the correction.
Actually the Finnish national anthem (Maamme) was composed by Fredrik Pacius… You were probably thinking of Finlandia-hymn, but it’s not the national anthem. Common mistake among tourists… ;o)
