Ainola (literal English translation: "Aino's Place") is a museum in Järvenpää, Finland, which was the home of a Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, his wife Aino (née Järnefelt), and their six daughters. Situated near Lake Tuusula, 38 kilometres (24 miles) north of Helsinki, the two-story wooden home was designed by a Finnish architect Lars Sonck. The foundation was laid in the autumn of 1903, and the Sibelius family began occupying the residence in September 1904. The second floor of Ainola was later finished in 1911.
