What institution opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to preserve and interpret Georgia O'Keeffe's art?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997 to preserve and interpret the artist's work and legacy. It became the first museum in the United States dedicated to a woman artist of international stature.

The museum holds paintings, drawings, photographs, and archival materials connected with O'Keeffe. Its exhibitions place her work in the context of American modernism, her relationships with Alfred Stieglitz and other artists, and her long engagement with New Mexico.

The institution also manages historic places associated with O'Keeffe, including her Abiquiu home and studio. Those sites help visitors understand how the region's architecture, mountains, desert forms, and objects entered her creative life.

The museum is not the same as the New Mexico Museum of Art, which is another Santa Fe institution. O'Keeffe's former homes are also separate historic sites, while the museum serves as the principal collecting and interpretive institution.
