What New Mexico art center opened in 1997 to preserve and exhibit Georgia O'Keeffe's work?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997.

The museum was established to preserve, study, and present O'Keeffe's art and her role in American modernism. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other materials connected with her career, along with works by artists and subjects relevant to her artistic world.

O'Keeffe had strong ties to New Mexico, especially Santa Fe, Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch. She first visited the state in 1917 and later made it her permanent home. The museum therefore opened in a place closely connected to the landscapes and buildings that appear throughout her work.

The museum is not the same as the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiu, which is a historic residence associated with the artist. Together, these institutions help visitors understand both her finished artworks and the environments in which she lived and worked.
