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. Discover Inuit ceramics, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, pottery from the Ancient Americas, and more!
We're posting family-friendly art activities inspired by our collection and the endless possibilities of clay. Visit our Family Day page for weekly crafts, colouring pages, and more fun art projects that you can enjoy at home.
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 make a gift to the Gardiner. This will be vital for when we reopen, and is the optimistic message we all need.
Support the Gardiner’s Education Access Fund
Every year, we reach out to Gardiner Friends to help support a very special project for our Annual Friends Campaign. This year, we are asking you to support the Gardiner’s Education Access Fund. With your contribution, you can help send children from priority neighbourhoods to the Gardiner’s engaging summer camps, provide clay for school visits, and support clay programming for community groups.
Please help us to continue building community with clay. Your support will ensure that we can continue giving children and youth opportunities to explore their creativity.
