Which museum in Santa Fe became the permanent home of Georgia O'Keeffe's work in 1997?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe became the permanent home of a major collection of her work in 1997. The museum opened on July 17, 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe's death.

The institution was founded to advance understanding of O'Keeffe's art and life. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and archival material, while its exhibitions also place her work in broader modern-art and New Mexico contexts.

The museum is distinct from the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú, which is a historic property associated with the artist. The Santa Fe museum presents and preserves the collection; the Abiquiú site conveys the physical setting where O'Keeffe lived and worked. Both are important parts of her New Mexico legacy.
