What is the name of the museum founded in Santa Fe to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe’s art?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum was founded in Santa Fe to preserve and present her art.

The museum opened on July 17, 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe’s death. It became the first museum in the United States devoted solely to an internationally known woman artist. Its collections include paintings, drawings, photographs, and personal materials connected with O'Keeffe’s life and career.

The museum’s main building is in Santa Fe’s historic downtown district. It also operates research and educational programs and manages historic properties associated with O'Keeffe, including sites in Abiquiu and at Ghost Ranch.

The institution is distinct from the New Mexico Museum of Art, another important Santa Fe museum. That distinction matters because both institutions exhibit New Mexican and modern art, but the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum has a single-artist mission centered on O'Keeffe’s work and legacy.
