What was the first U.S. museum devoted solely to Georgia O'Keeffe?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum was the first museum in the United States devoted solely to Georgia O'Keeffe. It opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997, eleven years after the artist's death.

The museum was founded to preserve and interpret O'Keeffe's art, life, and creative process. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and archival materials. The institution also maintains the artist's former homes and studios in Abiquiú and Ghost Ranch through its historic-properties program.

O'Keeffe spent the final decades of her life in New Mexico, so Santa Fe was a natural location for a museum devoted to her work. The city had already become an important center for regional art, galleries, and cultural tourism.

The museum is sometimes confused with the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio, which is a historic property rather than the main museum. The museum's Santa Fe galleries and the preserved northern New Mexico sites together provide different kinds of access to her work.
