In accordance with the announcement by the provincial government, the Gardiner Museum has closed temporarily, effective Monday November 23. While this news is difficult, the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and the wider community remains our top priority. We'll continue to provide you with engaging digital content to keep us connected while the galleries are closed.
During our temporary closure, we're posting exhibitions and selections from our collection online. Discover Inuit ceramics, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, pottery from the Ancient Americas, and more!
In accordance with instructions from the provincial government, the Museum closed to the public on Monday November 28 and we have cancelled all clay classes. We regret the inconvenience this may cause, but are hopeful that these actions will help maintain the health and safety of our communities. We will automatically be crediting students with a refund for remaining sessions.
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!
With the Museum closed temporarily, we need your support to continue to offer innovative and engaging exhibitions, programs, and community projects online, as well as plan for the future. Please consider making a donation to help us build community with clay.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: It’s with heavy hearts that we have cancelled our July and August Summer Camps. We reached this difficult decision based on recommendations from local public health officials. Due to the hands-on nature of our camps, small studio sizes, and the need for physical distancing, we’re unable to run the program safely.
We know how much our campers look forward to working with clay and expressing their creativity. If the Museum is able to reopen this summer, we’ll be evaluating ways to host shorter visits to our studios in smaller groups, and will keep you informed of our plans as they roll out.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you for our 2021 Summer Camp season.
