There are 4 of these Art Nouveau guys holding illuminting orbs at the train station.
The railway station was designed by Eliel Saarinen in 1901. Art Nouveau was a style of art and architecture which used organic decorative elements in a romantic way. The romanticizing of the Finnish flora and fauna and their national tales resulted in this ornate architecture.
Eliel Saarinen's son Eero Saarinen designed many icons of Scandinavian design.
