The City of Helsinki has enclosed the iconic Havis Amanda statue with steel and plywood screens in anticipation of possible large-scale public celebrations linked to upcoming international events.
The protective measure, implemented for the first time at this scale, is a pre-emptive effort to shield the landmark from damage, should Finland celebrate victories at either the Eurovision Song Contest or the Ice Hockey World Championships in the coming weeks.
