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.

Lobby Display
For Canada 150, a new generation of ceramic artists explores what it means to be making in Canada. This juried exhibition features selected works by students of all levels enrolled in the Ceramics Program at Sheridan College. A prize for ‘best in show’ and an honorable mention will be awarded, thanks to the generous support of the RBC Emerging Artist Project.
Join us on Friday March 31 from 6 to 8 pm for a special opening reception.
