Which museum opened in 1997 to preserve and display Georgia O'Keeffe's work?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in 1997 to preserve and display Georgia O'Keeffe's work.

The museum is in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the state where O'Keeffe lived and worked for much of her later life. It opened on July 17, 1997, more than a decade after her death. The institution’s collection includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, personal effects, and archival material.

Its holdings cover the full span of O'Keeffe’s career, from early abstraction and New York subjects to flowers, bones, and New Mexico landscapes. The museum also operates the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiu, allowing visitors to connect the artworks with the spaces where she lived and worked.

The museum is distinct from the New Mexico Museum of Art, another important Santa Fe institution. Its focused mission makes it the principal museum devoted to O'Keeffe’s life and work.
