Land Acknowlegdement

The Gardiner Museum is situated on the ancestral and traditional territories of many nations, including the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. It is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. As a museum that celebrates the material of the earth, the Gardiner Museum is committed to honouring Indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual connections to the land. Reconciliation is central to our work as a museum, and we strive to celebrate Indigenous knowledge and creativity through our collections, exhibitions, and programming.

Overview

The Gardiner Museum is a spectacular venue for any gathering with remarkable views of Queen’s Park and the Royal Ontario Museum. Perfect for downtown meetings, spring showers, weddings, and everything in-between.

A stunning, minimalist space with floor-to-ceiling windows, the Terrace Room can accommodate 140 for dining or a lecture style event, and up to 250 for a standing cocktail reception.

Renovation

The Gardiner Museum is undergoing a transformative renovation of our ground floor. During the renovation, our recently refurbished event space, the Terrace Room, is available for external bookings. We have also collaborated with the Museum's curatorial team to host cocktail receptions in our Galleries on the second floor.

Facilities and Capacity

• Terrace Room: Located on our third floor and named for its two balconies, the Terrace Room has a seated capacity of 140 and a standing capacity of 250.
• Second Floor Galleries: Until the renovation is complete (likely November 2025), the Galleries on our second floor provide an alternative to our Main Floor Lobby for cocktail hours. This space has a maximum standing capacity of 100. When book the Galleries in tandem with the Terrace Room, the overall guest count for your event can not exceed 100.
