The Hyde Collection combines the intimacy of an historic house with the sophistication of a larger art museum complex. The Museum's founders, Louis and Charlotte Hyde, amassed a permanent collection consisting of approximately 4,000 items ranging from works on paper, sculpture, furniture, and tapestries to Old Master paintings (Botticelli, Rembrandt and Rubens), important American artists (Bellows
, Eakins, Hassam, Homer, Vedder and Whistler) and Modern and Contemporary works (Kelly, Warhol, Albers and more). The Hyde Collection strives to be widely recognized as one of the preeminent small fine arts museums in the Northeastern United States, celebrated for its distinguished collections of European and American art, old masters and modern and contemporary art, dynamic educational and cultural programming, energetic collaboration with other forward-thinking organizations, and the memorable experiences it consistently creates for visitors in its welcoming and inclusive environment.
