The Hyde Collection
The Hyde Collection, Art museum in Glens Falls, United States
The Hyde Collection is an art museum housed in a Classical Revival mansion containing five gallery spaces. These rooms display European and American artworks spanning multiple centuries and artistic movements.
The residence was built in 1912 by Charlotte and Louis Hyde, who filled it with artwork collected during their European journeys. It opened as a public museum in 1963, transforming the private home into a cultural institution.
The collection reflects the personal taste of its founders, shaped by their travels across Europe during the early 1900s. Visitors can sense how the artworks were chosen as treasured possessions rather than acquired systematically by museum curators.
The museum sits within walking distance of downtown Glens Falls in a quiet residential area. The interior spaces are accessible, and visitors should wear comfortable shoes for exploring the multiple gallery levels.
An architectural passage connects the original residence with modern gallery areas added in a 1989 expansion. This addition includes an atrium and butterfly garden that sit unexpectedly between the historic structure and contemporary spaces.
