Which museum founded in 1997 preserves Georgia O'Keeffe's art and archives in Santa Fe?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, founded in 1997, preserves her art and archives in Santa Fe.

The museum opened in Santa Fe eleven years after O'Keeffe’s death. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and archival materials connected with her life and career. The institution also manages historic properties associated with the artist, including her Abiquiú home and studio.

The museum’s location reflects O'Keeffe’s strong connection to New Mexico. She first visited the state in 1929, later lived there permanently, and made its landscapes, buildings, plants, and bones central to her mature work.

The museum is distinct from the New Mexico Museum of Art, another Santa Fe institution with a broader collection. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum focuses specifically on O'Keeffe, her circle, and the cultural setting surrounding her work.
