The place where Finland's greatest composer Jean Sibelius spent much of his life, the house named Ainola, after his wife Aino, is a destination of pilgrimage for music lovers in general and admirers of Sibelius in particular. The visitor to Ainola absorbs the unbroken tranquillity and gains a sense of the world in which the composer and his family lived. When he was composing there Sibelius insisted on silence; he believed that music should be heard without disturbance from extraneous noise.

Tuusulanjärven lähistöllä nykyisen Järvenpään alueella sijaitseva Ainola oli säveltäjä Jean Sibeliuksen ja hänen perheensä koti 24. syyskuuta 1904 alkaen. Ainolassa asuessaan Sibelius sävelsi viulukonserton lopullisen version, sinfoniat nro 3-7, Tapiolan ja useita muita mestariteoksia.

Ainola muodostui keskeiseksi osaksi Tuusulanjärven taiteilijayhteisöä, ja Sibeliuksen perheen vuorovaikutus Halosenniemessä asuneen Pekka Halosen perheen, Suvirannassa asuneen Eero Järnefeltin perheen sekä Aholassa asuneen Juhani Ahon perheen kanssa oli vilkasta.

Sibelius kuoli rakkaassa Ainolassaan 20. syyskuuta 1957. Säveltäjän puoliso Aino Sibelius asui kodissa 1960-luvun lopulle asti, ja vuonna 1972 Jean Sibeliuksen tyttäret myivät Ainolan Suomen valtiolle kotimuseoksi. Ainola avattiin yleisölle 1974.
