Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art

What an unique museum- dedicated to ceramics. This lovely museum is right across from the ROM you all know. Get off at TTC museum station and head here to get wowed by ceramic evolution tales especially in countries/ kingdom of Europe and world in general.Adore the marvellous collection of ceramics from different era and kingdom. A wonderful place to spend and hour or two having a different perspective on ceramics. One thing that stands out for this place is that it is well curated museum,much smaller than ROM but nevertheless special in it's own right.

Right across the street from the amazing-on-it’s-own ROM, the Gardiner shines on its own with a wonderful collection. We visited during the renovation of the first floor so the museum was generously pay-what-you-wish. I loved seeing the porcelain and ceramics from countries around the world. Some beautiful seating available off the galleries on some terraces. They also have clay workshops going on, and though we did not sign up for one, we were invited to join in a “play with clay” event going on outside which was a fun bonus activity on our way out.

Front desk staff is very kind and helpful. Most of the ground floor is under renovation right now, so it’s a pay as you please entry fee of minimum $1. I still thoroughly enjoyed the second and third floors. Loads of fun whimsical pieces dispersed in between all the more serious art.
