Company Description:

The Gardiner Museum is an inviting destination that inspires and connects people, ideas and art through clay. It was founded in 1984 by a private Canadian collector, George R. Gardiner and his wife, Helen, to house their extraordinary collection of European ceramics and Ancient American pottery. The Gardiner Museum and its international ceramic collection were given to the people of Canada.
The Museum mounts special exhibitions, rotates its collections and offers events, lectures and clay classes to engage a broad public. Its varied programs are designed to build audience and community.
The Gardiner Museum is a public institution.
