George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art
George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art Review
This collection of rare ceramics includes 17th-century English delftware and 18th-century yellow European porcelain; its pre-Columbian collection dates to Olmec and Maya times. Other galleries feature Japanese Kakiemon-style pottery and Chinese white-and-blue porcelain. If your visit coincides with lunchtime, hit the museum's cafe for light, seasonal cuisine by local celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy. Free guided tours take place at 2 Sunday-Thursday; to embellish your tour with afternoon tea for C$5, come on Monday or Wednesday. Admission is half-price on Friday after 4.
