There are about four hundred outdoor sculptures, environmental works and historical monuments in Helsinki. The oldest works date from the late 19th century, with some individual monuments being of even earlier provenance.

Monuments located in parks, streets and squares belong to the collections of the Helsinki Art Museum. There are also public works that are located on the premises of private and state-owned companies and are therefore owned by them. In addition, there are around one hundred sculptures and monuments in cemeteries. This website only contains public monuments in cemeteries. Sculptures on private graves are not mentioned. See also the website for monuments belonging to the Helsinki City Museum (in Finnish only) http://www.hel2.fi/kaumuseo/muistomerkit/index.htm.
