What was Georgia O'Keeffe’s first museum named after her, opened in Santa Fe in 1997?

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

The museum was established to preserve and present O'Keeffe’s art, life, and creative influences. It opened eleven years after her death and became the first museum in the United States dedicated to a major woman artist.

Its collection includes paintings, drawings, and sculptures by O'Keeffe, along with archival material and works by artists connected to her story. The museum also operates research and education programs focused on modern American art.

The institution is sometimes confused with O'Keeffe’s Abiquiú home or with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center. The museum itself is in Santa Fe, while the research center and historic properties are separate parts of the wider O'Keeffe legacy.
