Sibelius Monument
Eila Hiltunen

The Sibleius Monument, one of Helsinki's landmarks, was created to honour national composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Finland's first abstract public monument, the main part of the Sibelius Monument consists of approx. 600 acid-proof stainless steel tubes of various diameters, welded together individually and hand-textured by Eila Hiltunen. It measures 10.5 (length) by 6.5 (depth) by 8.5 (height) metres and weighs 30 tons. The Sibelius Monument was unveiled on September 7, 1967. President Urho Kekkonen was present, with Finland's political, cultural and business elite. Full-size elements of the Monument, which were originally material and technique studies, stand outside the UN Palace in New York and in Montreal. A 1:5 replica is found at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. 
Eila Hiltunen (1922–2003) was a Finnish sculptor. Her sculpture for the Sibelius Monument won a competition organised by the Sibelius Society following the composer's death in 1957. While seen radical at its birth, the Sibelius Monument continues an ancient tradition and objective of monumental sculpture: permanence. It is the symbol of a genius composer, a grateful nation - and a gifted, determined sculptor.

Olympiastadion
The Olympiastadion is the Olympic Stadium of Helsinki, located in the Töölö district of Helsinki. It is the largest stadium in the country, nowadays mainly used for hosting sports events and big concerts. The stadium is best known for being the center of activities in the 1952 Summer Olympics. It was designed in functionalistic style by the architects Yrjö Lindegren  (1900–1952 - a Finnish architect) and Toivo Jäntti. Construction of the Olympic Stadium began in 1934 and it was completed in 1938, with the intent to host the 1940 Summer Olympics, which were moved from Tokyo to Helsinki before being cancelled due to World War II. It hosted the 1952 Summer Olympics over a decade later instead. It is also the home stadium of the Finland national football team.​
The stadium's spectator capacity was at its maximum during the 1952 Summer Olympics with over 70,000 spectator places. Nowadays the stadium has 40,600 spectator places. During concerts, depending on the size of the stage, the capacity is 45,000–50,000. The tower of the stadium, a distinct landmark with a height of 72.71 metres (238.5 ft), a measurement of the length of the gold-medal win by Matti Järvinen in javelin throw of 1932 Summer Olympics, is open for visitors and offers impressive views over Helsinki.

Aurora Bridge

Aurora Bridge  was opened in november 2012 in Helsinki. The bridge, for light traffic and pedestrians, links the Eläintarha district with Central Park and significantly improves traffic flow and safety, especially during large events such as athletics championships and concerts. A bridge design contest held by the City of Helsinki in 2009 was won by WSP Finland. Aurora Bridge was ordered by the City of Helsinki Public Works Department and the lead contractor was Lemminkäinen Infra Oy. The steel structures for the bridge were manufactured by Ruukki. Aurora Bridge is over 160 metres long and about five metres wide. The design of the bridge is dominated by two 20 meter high steel arches spanning Nordenskiöldenkatu street.
Aurora Bridge received the RIL Award (The Finnish Association of Civil Engineers' Award) in 2012 - this is an annual recognition made by the Finnish Association of Civil Engineers for building projects demonstrating excellent competence in design and implementation.

Silver Tree
Jukka Tuomine

The Finnish Medical Association wanted to erect a monument to Archiater Arvo Ylppö, a Finnish pediatrician who significantly decreased Finnish infant mortality during the 20th century, that would symbolize his life's work. The memorial was unveiled in winter 2010 next to the Lääkäritalo building at the corner of the Hämeentie and Mäkelänkatu streets in the district of Vallila.
​​The winning entry in the design competition was Silver Tree by the sculptor Jukka Tuominen. As a poetic metaphor of the revered physician's life's work, the work symbolises living, organic growth and the cycle of life. The monument consists of a silver oval element with a hollow from which a rowan tree rises.

Maailman rauha / World Peace
Oleg Kirjuhin

`World Peace' was donated by the City of Moscow to the City of Helsinki and unveiled on January 14, 1990. The donation was a part of the Cities' friendship and cultural exchange program. Helsinki's gift to Moscow was Antti Neuvonen's sculpture `Friendship of the people' which was placed in a park specifically designed for donated sculptures. Kirjuhin's work is a good example of Soviet Socialist Realism. Cast in bronze and 6.5 meters high with its pedestal, it comprises five figures representing the inhabitants of the five continents. The figures, supporting a globe decorated by foliage, are participating in a demonstration, fists raised in defense of peace. At the unveiling, Helsinki's Lord Mayor Raimo Ilaskivi noted in his speech that the work is powerful and meaningful.

Helsinki Cathedral

Helsinki Cathedral (Finnish: Helsingin tuomiokirkko, Suurkirkko) is the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the neighborhood of Kruununhaka in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built from 1830-1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of Finland, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. A distinctive landmark in the Helsinki cityscape, with its tall, green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the building is in the neoclassical style. It was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel as the climax of his Senate Square layout: it is surrounded by other, smaller buildings designed by him, including The Senate (now the Palace of the Council of State), the City of Helsinki Town Hall, and the library and the main building of Helsinki University. The church's plan is a Greek cross (a square centre and four equilateral arms), symmetrical in each of the four cardinal directions, with each arm's façade featuring a colonnade and pediment. 
Carl Ludvig Engel (1778 - 1840), was a German architect known for his Empire style, a phase of Neoclassicism. He had a great impact on the architecture of Finland in the first part of the 19th century, not just as an architect but also as the head of the Intendent's Office, which was responsible for all key public buildings throughout the country.

Helsinki Central Station

Helsinki Central railway station (Finnish: Helsingin päärautatieasema) is a widely recognised landmark in Kluuvi, part of central Helsinki, and the focal point of public transport in the Greater Helsinki area. 
The station is used by approximately 200,000 passengers per day, making it Finland's most-visited building. The station building was designed by Eliel Saarinen and inaugurated in 1919. The station is mostly clad in Finnish granite, with a clock tower and two pairs of statues holding the spherical lamps, lit at night-time, on either side of the main entrance. 
Gottlieb Eliel Saarinen (1873 –1950) was a Finnish architect known for his work with art nouveau buildings in the early years of the 20th century. He moved to the United States in 1923. He became a professor in the University of Michigan's Architecture Department. His son, Eero (1910–1961), became one of the most important American architects of the mid-20th century, as one of the leaders of the International style.

The Three Smiths​​
Felix Nylund

The Three Smiths Statue (Kolmen Sepän Patsas) is a sculpture by Finnish sculptor Felix Nylund (1878 - 1940), situated in Helsinki in Three Smiths Square at the intersection of Aleksanterinkatu and Mannerheimintie. Unveiled in 1932, it depicts three naked smiths hammering on an anvil. The master smith’s face is of poet Arvid Mörne, the one raising the hammer is a self portrait of the artist Nylund, and the third smith is of stonecutter Aku Nuutinen, Nylund’s assistant.
The statue was donated to the city of Helsinki by the Pro Helsingfors foundation, which had acquired it with the help of a monetary donation by the businessman Julius Tallberg. Tallberg's commerce house is situated at the northern end of the three smiths square. 
The statue was damaged in a bombing during the Continuation War in 1944. Marks of the damage can still be seen in the base of the statue, and the anvil has a hole caused by a bomb shrapnel.

Ilmarinen,
​Roger Stigell

Ilmarinen is a statue by finnish sculptor Robert Konstantin Stigell (1852 - 1907), representing Seppo Ilmarinen, the Eternal Hammerer, a blacksmith and inventor, an archetypal artificer from Finnish mythology. It is found along with its partner statue representing Väinämöinen on the façade of Old Sudents House, next to the The Three Smith’s square. Both are characters from The Kalevala which is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish folklore and mythology, and which is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature.

Yrittäjäveistos
Eva Löfdahl

Entrepreneur Monument was made by Swedish sculptress Eva Löfdahl who won the 2004 open competition organised by the Suomen yrittäjien patsassäätiö, a Finnish foundation for entrepreneurs statues, to honour and acknowledge Finnish entrepreneurs with an impressive public art work. The work is situated at Kamppi. Inauguration took place on 5th September 2006 and its patron is Matti Vanhanen, the Finnish Prime Minister. Eva Löfdal's 6-meter hgh wired structure work is made of aluminium and it's solid geometry represents the quasi-pattern construction thought up in 1973 by the mathematical physicist Roger Penrose, which is known today as Penrose tiling. The aluminium parts are in various open-cut forms whose exterior surface are constructed in 2 to 17 mm wide surfaces. The aluminium has a thin yellowish surface color. Inside the structure is a porous 70 x 70 x 130 cm lava block prepared from special concrete reminiscent of black 'stone', which was was planned and prepared by the sculptor and concrete expert, Pertti Kukkonen.
Eva Löfdahl (born 1953) is one of Sweden's most important contemporary artists. Since her debut, she has created varieties of paradoxical metaphors, challenging the habitual way of seeing things, in the form of sculptures, objects, paintings and drawings, or works made specifically for a particular site. In 2014 she was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal by the King of Sweden for "outstanding artistic achievement."

Ole No. 22, 
P. Karjula & M. Vuokola

'Olo no. 22' comprises more than 50 polished steel spheres of various sizes, placed in the area surrounding the harbour basin in Hietalahti, at the western end of Bulevardi.  The sculpture won first prize in an invited competition organized in the late 1990s for installations to be located in the Hietalahti area. The jury appreciated the clever way in which the artists - the Olo Group, in particular Pasi Karjula & Marko Vuokola - had taken the special character and heavy traffic of the area into consideration.  Some of the spheres are placed inside businesses and in courtyards, thereby expanding the concept of public monuments by being open to interpretation and non-monumental. There is no beginning or end to 'Olo no. 22'; instead, it has a continuous presence in the area. 
Pasi Karjula lives and works in Helsinki. He studied at Kankaanpää Art School and at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 1986–91. He is known for his wooden sculptures, conceptual works and large-scale installations. He has made public works in Finland, Sweden and the UK.
Marko Vuokola (born 1967) is a Finnish conceptual artist. He graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki. Vuokola works across a wide variety of media and materials, departing often from a conceptual exploration of issues relating to time and space. ​
