A Message from the Interim Director 

Through this website The Hyde Collection is able to reach a global audience in presenting an overview of the rich and varied offerings found in this extraordinary museum. For our regional audiences it can be an enticing reminder of the valuable community asset we are as we present a series of changing exhibitions, an astounding permanent collection, a recently restored and renovated historic home and furnishings, and community outreach programs for audiences of all ages and educational levels.

As you access the various pages on our site you will see there are many opportunities offered to you wherein you can create your own rewarding museum experience. Use the site to plan your visit, to check out our events, and to discover the many contributions you could make to the life of the Museum when you join as a valued member of The Hyde Museum family.

I’m Marijo Dougherty, Interim Director of The Hyde Collection and I hope your visit to this site will entice you to pay us a personal visit as well. You will not be disappointed in the experience when you encounter great works of art in this magnificent setting.
