Very interesting!
  • Only museum in Canada devoted to ceramics
  • More than 3,000 pieces
  • Drop-in clay classes

Clay's malleable nature and neutral colour makes it an ideal medium for shaping elegant vases and sculpting an army of cheese-guarding terracotta warriors. See the ranks of impressionable pottery with today's Groupon: for $5, you get one admission to the Gardiner Museum, located in the Yorkville district (up to a $12 value depending on age, student status, and day of the week).

The recently expanded Gardiner Museum is Canada's premier museum devoted to ceramics, one of the world's oldest and most ubiquitous forms of art and material culture. The clay-based collection contains more than 3,000 historical and contemporary pieces, as well as rotating special exhibitions whirling atop a set of spinning plates. In addition to the interior interests, the museum is housed in one of the city's finest examples of Modernist architecture. After soaking in the sights, visitors can check out the acclaimed retail shop and café run by celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy, or try sculpting and wheel-throwing with ceramics strongmen in the open clay studio. Artist talks, book launches, and free Friday films fill-out the rotund offerings.

  • There is plenty here to see. The pre-Columbian department contains fantastic Olmec and Maya figures, and objects from Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. – Frommer's
  • I was quite impressed by the sheer volume of ceramics that were on display in the museum. – tanders, TripAdvisor
