Which art museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to honor Georgia O'Keeffe?

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

The museum was established in Santa Fe eleven years after O'Keeffe's death. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, and archival material connected with O'Keeffe's life and career. The institution also studies modernism, the American Southwest, and the artists and cultural settings that shaped her work.

O'Keeffe had a close relationship with New Mexico, where she first traveled in 1929 and moved permanently in 1949. That connection made Santa Fe a natural location for a museum devoted to her. The museum's holdings extend beyond the familiar flower paintings to include early abstractions, New York subjects, New Mexico landscapes, and late works. It should not be confused with the nearby New Mexico Museum of Art, founded earlier and devoted to a broader range of artists and periods.
