Which museum opened in 1997 to preserve and interpret Georgia O'Keeffe's life and art?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in 1997 to preserve and interpret her life and art.

The museum is in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a city closely connected with O'Keeffe’s later career and legacy. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, and other materials related to her work, as well as archival resources documenting her life and creative process.

The museum opened eleven years after O'Keeffe’s death. It was established to make her work and papers accessible in the region where she had lived and worked for many years. The institution also operates a research center and supports exhibitions and educational programs.

The museum’s name is specific. It is not the same as a general modern-art museum in Santa Fe, and it should not be confused with the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú, which is a separate historic site.
