Morning
Start the day at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (see Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art), taking 90 minutes to peruse the permanent collections and visiting exhibit. On your way out, pop into the gift shop to have a look at the unique crafts.
Head north to Bloor St and turn left, walking a half block to the iron gates of Philosophers’ Walk, beside the ROM (see Royal Ontario Museum). Take this charming footpath, which follows the course of the now buried Taddle Creek, exiting at Hoskin St in the heart of the University of Toronto campus. Wander south to the Late Gothic Revival Hart House, lunching at Gallery Grill on food that matches the impressive surroundings.
Afternoon
After lunch, poke around the stately common rooms and library of Hart House, noting the paintings throughout. Check out Canadian art at Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, too.
From Hart House turn right toward University College and some of the most historic buildings on campus. Stop by the Laidlaw Wing to visit the University of Toronto Art Centre . Just to the south, on King’s College Circle, is the 1906 Convocation Hall, with its Ionic-column-supported dome. Peek inside if the doors are unlocked.
From here, it’s only a couple of blocks’ stroll south and west to Chinatown. Indulge in a feast at Lee Garden (331 Spadina Ave).
