Experience Ainola –
The world of Aino and Jean Sibelius.
Located in Järvenpää on the shores of Lake Tuusula, Ainola is Finland’s most internationally renowned home museum and a unique part of Finland’s national cultural heritage.
A visit to Ainola, which is preserved in its original condition, is a unique journey back in time to the domestic culture, music, and visual arts of the last century.
Ainola is owned by the Finnish state. Museum operations at Ainola are maintained by the Ainola Foundation, which was established in 1972. The property is managed by Senate Properties, and the National Museum of Finland is responsible for the museum collection.
