The Sibelius Monument (Finnish: Sibelius-monumentti) by Eila Hiltunen is dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957). It consists of series of more than 600 hollow steel pipes welded together in a wave-like pattern. Hiltunen's aim was to capture the essence of the music of Sibelius. 

Originally it sparked a lively debate about the merits and flaws of abstract art and although the design looked like stylized organ pipes it was known that the composer had created little music for organs. Hiltunen addressed her critics by adding the face of Sibelius which sits beside the main sculpture. Have you heard of him? Sibelius's most famous piece is Finlandia hymn.

The station building, clad in granite, was designed by Eliel Saarinen and inaugurated in 1919. The building is known for its clock tower and the Lyhdynkantajat ("The Lantern Bearers") statues by Emil Wikström. Helsinki Central was chosen as one of the world's most beautiful railway stations by BBC in 2013. The Helsinki Central Station has become the symbol of the entire railway network in Finland. For example, the VR Group uses the image of the station and the statues next to its main entrance in its advertising. Finns also love to put clothes on them for certain occasions. In 2023 they wore similar jackets as Käärijä. 

During the First World War, the unfinished railway station was turned into a military hospital, and the clock tower served as a morgue. During the Second World War, the members of Lotta Organization used the clock tower to perform air surveillance in Helsinki.
