China. Porcelain. Tea sets over the centuries. This is not normally riveting stuff. Yet somehow the Gardiner manages to both endear, enchant and educate on all things originating from clay & the earth.
There are rooms dedicated to specific eras / countries. The displays are well laid out, and the written descriptions are thorough and beautifully presented. The massive scale of the Rococco style dessert table was, well, off-the-chain. Seriously, you'll never think of "dessert service" the same way again.
Check out the Canadian modern pottery / art display to the right just off the lobby entrance. Get a volunteer to show you the Secret Thing Way You Should Focus Your Eyes On That Black & White Sculpture. It's pretty cool.

About Gardiner Museum
When Toronto businessman and philanthropist George R. Gardiner began collecting ceramics in 1976, he was only interested in decorating his home. But soon his passion for pottery and porcelain grew as well as his collection and he co-founded the Gardiner Museum in 1984 with his wife, Helen. Today, the museum's collection has ballooned to include more than 4,000 pieces, encompassing everything from Japanese sake pots and Italian Renaissance maiolica plates, to Canadian contemporary ceramic sculptures.
Objects from the core collection share space in the museum with special exhibitions. The museum supplements its showings with lectures, special workshops, and clay classes for children and adults. Visitors can take home a souvenir from the Gardiner Shop, which sells Canadian ceramics as well as international jewelry, scarves, and glasswork, or stop-by for a lovely lunch at the third floor Terrace Room with stunning views overlooking the city, catered by à la Carte Kitchen Inc.
