Which museum, opened in 1997, is devoted primarily to Georgia O'Keeffe's art?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, opened in 1997, is devoted primarily to Georgia O'Keeffe's art.

The museum opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on July 17, 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe's death. It was created to preserve, study, and present her art and legacy, and it holds the largest public collection of her work.

Its holdings include paintings, drawings, sculptures, and related archival material. The museum also operates the Georgia O'Keeffe Research Center, supporting scholarship about O'Keeffe and modern art. Additional sites connected with her life include her Abiquiú home and studio and the nearby landscape of Ghost Ranch.

The museum is sometimes confused with New Mexico institutions that display O'Keeffe works, such as the New Mexico Museum of Art. The distinction is that the Santa Fe museum was specifically established around O'Keeffe's life, work, and archives rather than as a general art museum.
