The Gardiner Museum is open seven days a week. Explore our permanent collection, discover special exhibitions, get hands-on with clay in our studios, dine, shop, and more.
Enter an immersive world created by Montreal-based artist Karine Giboulo, brought to life by over 500 miniature polymer clay figures that tell stories about our most urgent social issues, from the pandemic to the climate crisis. It will delight visitors of all ages!
Registration for our popular March Break camps opens to Gardiner Friends on January 23 and to the general public on January 25. From March 13 - 17, kids and teens can explore the Museum and get creative with clay in our pottery studios!
Experience the Gardiner's world-renowned collection, in person and online. From Chinese porcelain to contemporary Canadian ceramics, discover the people and histories behind the objects.
Everyone can love clay! Become a Gardiner Friend and enjoy the benefits, including unlimited admission, advanced clay class registration, invitations to exhibition previews and special events, discounts on lectures and classes, and more.
Free with admission. Every day during Museum hours.
What makes a house a home? Taking inspiration from the special exhibition Karine Giboulo: Housewarming, recreate a cherished household object or family heirloom in clay, then display it on our lobby trees for your fellow visitors to enjoy throughout the holiday season. Plan your visit today and help us bring this symbol of joy and creativity to life.
Looking for a special activity to do as a family? Every Sunday from 11 am – 3 pm, we’ll have guided workshops where kids can play with clay and add to our lobby installation.
