Overview

The Gardiner Museum at 111 Queen's Park is one of the only museums in the world devoted to ceramics, with more than 5,000 objects. On this three-hour private visit, we pick you up anywhere in the GTA in a private vehicle with a licensed, insured driver-guide and bring you right to the door.

Inside, you set the pace through ancient American pieces, Italian Renaissance maiolica, English delftware, 18th-century porcelain, and modern Canadian work. The museum is open to the public, so you share the galleries with other visitors, and we take you back to a GTA location of your choice afterwards.
