GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) - The Hyde Collection's accumulation of art has taken on a rotation of many forms, from classical painting to screenprinting, student works and more. Soon, a new experience will come to the museum taking on another type of canvas - the big screen.

Starting this Saturday, Oct. 8, the Hyde will flip the projector on for On Screen @ The Hyde, a new film series highlighting great British theatre, as well as art from around the world. The program includes National Theatre Live - a program from the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain to broadcast performances worldwide. It also incorporates Great Art on Screen, a program including documentaries and experiences featuring art, history, and biographies from across the world of art.
