Which art museum in Santa Fe opened a permanent Georgia O'Keeffe collection in 1997?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as a permanent museum devoted to her art and legacy.

The museum was established eleven years after O'Keeffe's death and occupies historic buildings in Santa Fe. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and personal materials connected with O'Keeffe's life and career. The institution also operates the artist's former home and studio in Abiquiú as a historic site, although that property is separate from the museum's main Santa Fe galleries.

The museum is sometimes confused with the New Mexico Museum of Art, another important Santa Fe institution. The two museums have different histories and missions. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum focuses specifically on O'Keeffe, her working methods, and the artists and ideas connected to her career. Its opening helped make her New Mexico story accessible through a dedicated institution.
