Which institution opened in 1997 to preserve and present Georgia O'Keeffe's art?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to preserve and present O'Keeffe's art.

The museum was founded more than a decade after O'Keeffe's death and became the first museum in the United States dedicated to an internationally recognized woman artist. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and archival material connected with O'Keeffe's career.

The main museum is in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a city closely linked with O'Keeffe's later life. The institution also operates the artist's former Home and Studio in Abiquiú and the Research Center, which opened in 2001.

The museum's name is sometimes confused with the house museum or with general New Mexico art institutions. Its mission is specifically centered on O'Keeffe, her work, and the artistic context in which she developed her modernist practice.
