In 1963, the Hyde Collection opened and remains to this day one of the most distinguished art museums in New York. Aided by advisors such as Valentiner, R. Langton Douglas, and Berenson the couple created an art collection together which included Old Master paintings, drawings and sculpture by such artists as Botticelli, El Greco, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens.

At the same time she added works by American artists including Eakins, Hassam, Homer, Peto, and Ryder. |
