Like many of you, we have been closely following the developments of COVID-19. The Gardiner Museum is closed temporarily as of March 14, 2020. We will continue to take guidance from our public health officials regarding the duration of the closure and will post updates to our website and social media channels as they become available. We are grateful for your support and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to navigate this challenging time. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Gardiner soon.
Our spring sessional classes and workshops scheduled for April and May have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued automatically.
The Gardiner Museum is among the few museums in the world focused on ceramics, and is one of the most important specialty museums internationally. It houses approximately 4,000 objects, including European porcelain, ceramics from the Ancient Americas, Chinese porcelain, Japanese porcelain, and contemporary ceramics.

Radius Child and Youth Services SAFE-T Program and the Gardiner Museum invite you to witness the courageous work completed by children and youth breaking the silence of their experiences of sexual abuse by transforming their narratives into clay sculptures.
When thinking of the circle of life and how communities support the mechanism behind moving forward from sexual abuse, one 16-year-old participant had this to say:
“Treat life like a Ferris wheel…You must get past the fear to enjoy the ride.”
