The Sibelius Monument is dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957). The monument is located at the Sibelius Park in Helsinki. It was designed by Eila Hiltunen and unveiled on September 7, 1967.

It consists of series of more than 600 hollow steel pipes welded together in a wave-like pattern. The purpose of the artist was to capture the essence of the music of Sibelius. The monument weighs 24 tons and measures 8.5 × 10.5 × 6.5 meters.

UPDATE - My thyroid that was removed was not a malignant tumour so that should be all done now. I still have to do a follow-up with the surgeon but it all should be over, except maybe to adjust the medication. It has be a long hard year both physically and mentally but now it all comes to an end and I can start to travel again. I have now seen my travel agent and she is booking my next trip(s). Tunisia and then onto Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia
