The Gardiner Museum is open seven days a week! Explore our permanent collection, discover special exhibitions, and get hands-on with clay in our studios. We look forward to welcoming you.
Discover an installation of works by American artist Sharif Bey on now in our lobby. Bey's practice is influenced by African and Afro-diasporic aesthetic traditions, as well as ancient Andean ceramics and contemporary popular culture.
Summer will be here before you know it! Don't wait to sign up for the Gardiner's popular summer camps. New this year, all our week-long sessions are full-day multimedia camps, so kids can draw, paint, sculpt, and more.
Every object in our permanent collection can be accessed through our eMuseum portal. Learn about individual collecting areas, like Italian Maiolica or Modern and Contemporary Ceramics, or search the full collection by keyword. You'll be amazed by what you discover!
Help us continue to offer innovative and engaging exhibitions, programs, and community projects in person and online, as well as plan for the future. Please consider making a donation today.
For the past 25 years, the 12 Trees of Christmas has been a favourite Toronto holiday tradition. Designed by the city’s top designers, the trees dazzle hundreds of families at the Gardiner before they are delivered to various charities in the community, spreading the spirit of giving throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
The trees will be debuted at the annual 12 Trees of Christmas fundraising gala on Thursday November 21.
Bring an unwrapped toy for the CTV Toy Mountain Campaign benefiting the Salvation Army, and place it under the signature toy chest. The gifts collected will give children in Toronto a Christmas to remember.
