Gardiner ID Clinic Tomorrow

All Antiques Roadshow junkies, put up your hands!
Okay, okay -- I'm not exactly a "junkie," but I do watch the show once in awhile. I must admit I love learning about the history of objects and it's a bit of a thrill when someone's garage sale find turns out to be worth gajillions of dollars. It's even more thrilling, somehow, when the item has been sitting in a dusty basement.
If you've ever wondered about the origins of something that you own, you might want to head to the Gardiner Museum tomorrow.
There will be an ID Clinic from 10 am to 2 pm. There is a cost and the appraisers will not estimate an object's value, but the information might sate some of your curiosity and perhaps you'll discover it's not worth getting the object appraised, which is helpful in itself.
Cheers,
Vanessa
