Which museum in Santa Fe was founded in 1997 to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe was founded in 1997 to preserve and present O'Keeffe’s legacy.

The museum opened after the artist’s death and holds a substantial collection of her paintings, drawings, and other materials. Its exhibitions place her work within the history of American modernism while also explaining her long relationship with New Mexico. The institution operates in Santa Fe, a city closely connected with the artist’s later life.

The museum is not the same as the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú. The Santa Fe museum is an institution devoted to exhibitions, collections, and education, whereas the Abiquiú site is the preserved residence and studio where O'Keeffe lived and worked. Both are important destinations for understanding her New Mexico years.
