After being closed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls will be open to visitors with appointments beginning on Aug. 1.
Hour-long appointments can be made on hydecollection.org, with 26 time slots available per day, Thursday-Sunday, museum officials said.
The Hyde will be reserved for seniors and high-risk individuals from 10 a.m. to noon, then will close for an hour for cleaning, and open back up from 1-5 p.m. for the general public.
Guests will be asked to arrive at The Hyde five minutes before their scheduled time, and will wait outside the museum until the lobby is clear of visitors.
Before arrival, visitors will be asked to access The Hyde’s “Guide By Cell” self tour. (text the word “Hyde” to 565-12 and follow the prompt. Message and data rates may apply per your provider).
Guests must wear a mask or face covering to enter the museum, and once inside will follow a path clearly marked with arrows and designated viewing areas to avoid the clustering of groups. There will also be hand sanitizing stations located throughout the galleries, and disinfecting wipes in the restrooms and elevator areas. Audio tours and a rules and regulations guide will be provided upon check-in. Guests do not need to bring a printed ticket, just a confirmation number.
The Hyde Collection asks that anyone planning to visit the museum check their temperature on the day of their visit, and if they are not feeling well, to reschedule their trip by calling the admission desk at (518) 792-1761, ext. 350.
