2408. The Sibelius Museum

 

Dear Erik,

This beautiful Sibelius Museum in the historical

center of Turku is the only museum in Finland 

devoted to music and the perfect combination 

between silence and music, exterior and interior, 

daylight and nightfall.

Best regards,

677. The Sibelius Museum

Dear Erik,

The great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius said once that
the framework of a symphony must be so strong that it
forces you to follow it, regardless of the environment and
circumstances. The Sibelius Museum, a remarkable work
of architect Woldemar Baeckman, seems to fit naturally
in that description: a strong framework that dominates
natures yet offers a pleasant serenity. The perfect
combination between silence and music, exterior and
interior, daylight and nightfall.

Respectfully,
R
