About The Hyde
  • Our Story

    Founder & Mission

    Museum founders Charlotte and Louis Hyde acquired the majority of the works of art that are on display in Hyde House, their former home. After the death of her husband in 1934, Charlotte continued to acquire new works of art and broaden the scope of the collection. Charlotte died in 1963, at which time The Hyde Collection opened as a public museum. Her mission for the Museum is still our core focus today, which is “to maintain a Museum for the exhibition of the permanent collection and to promote and cultivate the improvement of the fine arts, for the education and benefit of the residents of Glens Falls and vicinity and the general public.

    The Museum’s collection of Modern and Contemporary art features works by artists including Josef Albers, Dorothy Dehner, Sam Gilliam, Adolph Gottlieb, Grace Hartigan, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, George McNeil, Robert Motherwell, Ben Nicholson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Bridget Riley.

    Today, The Hyde offers significant national and international exhibitions, and a packed schedule of events that help visitors to experience art in new ways.
