The second floor Renaissance and European ceramics were my favourite! There's a video on how many of the beautiful pieces are created, would highly suggest that everyone watch that too.

Drop in pottery class . Show up early to stand in line to get a number to wait to buy a ticket to wait to get in.

Did you know that the Gardiner Museum is dedicated to ceramic art and was originally designed by Keith Wagland in 1984? Come visit us during Doors Open on May 25-26, 2013!!

Read all the descriptions and historical statements. Some are surprisingly entertaining.

Take the free tour at 2PM. It's pottery after all. You'll need some help to fully appreciate it.

Sunday "family day" is awesome, with lots of activities for the kids to keep them busy. Scavenger hunt , clay making and crafts.

Evka Rodinová

I was little disappointed with the pottery class . Instructors are great, but they have no time for everyone there. The instructions are brief so you have no idea you are doing something wrong ????

Gabriel Seah

The Pre-Colombian collection is the most intriguing and interesting of the lot

If you are bringing kids ask the front desk for a scavenger hunt clipboard to keep them occupied.

Terrence Clark

I was not impressed. At least 1/3 of the museum was closed for renovation or exhibition instalment and no alterations to price of admission .

Patrick Delongchamp

Have brunch at the restaurant for a fucking classy ass experience.

John Molloy

There's a Picasso in the contemporary gallery !

Michael Knox

fun seeing the well decorated Christmas trees and more with the kids
