The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, opened in 1997, is located in Santa Fe.
The museum opened in July 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe’s death. It was created to preserve, study, and present her art and life, with a collection spanning paintings, drawings, photographs, and related archival materials.
Santa Fe was a fitting location because O'Keeffe spent her later years in New Mexico and became closely associated with the state’s landscape and artistic culture. The museum’s holdings and programs place her work in context, including her years in New York, her relationship with Alfred Stieglitz, and her long engagement with the Southwest.
The museum is sometimes confused with O'Keeffe’s historic home and studio in Abiquiú. That property is administered separately and is open through guided visits. Santa Fe is the city containing the dedicated Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, while Abiquiú is the location of one of the artist’s best-known homes.
