The Gardiner Museum is closed temporarily in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Check our homepage for a rotating selection of online resources and digital art experiences that you can enjoy at home. Be sure to sign up for our e-newsletter and follow us on social media for your daily ceramics fix.
During our temporary closure, we're posting exhibitions and selections from our collection online through Google Arts & Culture. Discover Inuit ceramics, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, pottery from the Ancient Americas, and more!
Our spring sessional classes and workshops scheduled for April and May have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued automatically. If you have any questions, please email us at mail@gardinermuseum.com.
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!
We're closed until further notice, but we're planning for the day when we can again welcome visitors. We encourage you to renew your membership or otherwise continue your support. This will be vital for when we re-open, and is the optimistic message we all need.
Please read the registration instructions prior to registering. To be added to the waitlist for a sold-out class, please email mail@gardinermuseum.com.

In this two-hour workshop, we'll explore clay as a medium for deepening our experience of the present moment. Through a series of hand-building exercises, we'll focus our attention on the dance between breath and clay, awakening to our present moment experience through the senses and finding our centre.
