Which institution opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy.

The museum opened on July 17, 1997, more than a decade after O'Keeffe's death. It was established to celebrate her art, life, and continuing connection with New Mexico. The museum's collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, personal objects, and archival material.

Its main building is in downtown Santa Fe, while the institution also oversees the artist's former home and studio in Abiquiú through related preservation work. These locations help visitors connect O'Keeffe's art with the places that shaped it.

The museum is not the same institution as the New Mexico Museum of Art, although both are located in Santa Fe and present important Southwestern art. The O'Keeffe museum has a focused mission centered on one artist and the historical context of her work.
