Place to see: Gardiner Museum, Toronto, Canada

About this place:

Gardiner Museum of Glass in Toronto... definitely worth a visit. Beautiful building designed by the local architectural firm Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg.

Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art is the only museum in Canada entirely devoted to ceramics. Founded in 1984 by Toronto philanthropists George and Helen Gardiner.

The Gardiner Museum offers an intimate look at one of the world’s oldest and most universal forms of art and material culture—ceramics. Complemented by special exhibitions, the collection exceeds 3,000 historical and contemporary pieces and spans continents and time, giving you an extraordinary glimpse into the development of the ceramic process, decoration and shape.

Located across from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto’s charming Yorkville district, the Gardiner has undergone a major expansion of its gallery and studio spaces. It remains one of the city’s finest examples of modernist architecture.
