The Hyde Collection

"Great museum with amazing artwork and furnishings of historic home. Architecture is beautiful, staff friendly and so many fantastic exhibits. Worth more than one visit, displays change periodically. Beautiful place, hidden gem in Glens Falls, very unexpected surprise."

"With all due respect to the very polite staff, this exhibit was not worth the price of admission which, as a veteran, was zero. Took me 45 minutes walking at a very leisurely pace to view the entire collection. EV owners should take note—-there is a base charge of $3 for the first 30 minutes and $.10 per minute thereafter."

"The Hyde Collection is an outstanding museum in the city of Glens Falls. The museum is home to over 5,000 works of art and has many exhibitions a year. The museum includes the Gilded Age mansion of Charlotte and Louis Hyde. The mansion is beautiful and features the works of many great artists. Artists whose works are displayed in the museum include Botticelli, Rembrandt, El Greco, Seurat, Degas, Renoir, Rubens, and Picasso. Great works of art from the Middle Ages all the way to contemporary American art are presented. The artworks, historic furniture, and pleasing decorations give the mansion a certain charm that is not matched by others. Don’t miss the tapestries that are on display. The Hyde offers a rare chance to see a real Gilded Age home complete with great works of art. The audio tour for the mansion is very informative and easy to use. The also offers tours of the mansion presented by a docent, if you’re interested. The Hyde presents many traveling exhibits as well. Currently, they have a wonderful exhibit on Degas. There is also a collection of photographs and sounds of the inner earth by Ron Jude exhibition which has to be seen and heard. The Hyde is a small museum which presents the works of great artists whose works are often displayed in much larger museums. It is easily the area’s best museum. Do yourself a favor and stop in to see the Hyde Collection."

"Fantastic! Had a nice time viewing the very good collection. Staff were often generous with their time and enjoyed discussing the works. The original home and furniture is a great thing to see."

"The Hyde Collection is a lovely institution with a great story/history. It’s a nice museum for a shorter visit, but still well worth it. The Hyde home itself is part of the art, as well as its permanent art collection and antique furniture pieces. The attached galleries had quilt folk art and modern art visiting collections that were also enjoyable. The guest greeter in the lobby was a delightful first encounter. My friend and I were visiting from metro Boston and had a wonderful time today."
