Statue of Tove Jansson
Unofficial memorial
Tove Jansson, creator of the beloved Moomin trolls, still doesn't have an official statue in Helsinki, if you exclude the ones from before she was famous.

Mutta minä lähden
Talking sewer
"Mutta minä lähden" is only a few block from my place. It's one of the funniest public pieces of art in Helsinki. It's a talking sewer.

Kahvila Lähde
Coffee in an old hospital
"Kahvila Lähde" is an abandoned psychiatric hospital in Helsinki now a very interesting cultural space/cafe. I'm very happy it's being used like this.
