Introduction

The statues and monuments around Helsinki come to life!

The City of Helsinki’s Urban Environment organises guided drama walks on Helsinki Day, 12 June, with actors presenting statues and monuments in the city centre.

Now these statues and monuments can come to life every day. Plaques with QR codes have been placed next to the talking statues and monuments allowing visitors to access the videos easily in either Finnish, English or Swedish using their mobile devices. In the videos, actors portraying the famous people memorialised by the statues and monuments explain who they are and what they are doing here.
