Which museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as a major center for Georgia O'Keeffe's art?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as a major center for Georgia O'Keeffe's art.

The museum was established to preserve, study, and present O'Keeffe's work and related materials. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, archival documents, and objects connected with the artist's life and career. Santa Fe was chosen because O'Keeffe spent her later years in New Mexico and became deeply associated with the region.

The museum's main building is in downtown Santa Fe, while the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú is managed as a separate historic site connected with the institution. Together, these places help visitors understand both the artworks and the environments that shaped them.

The museum should not be confused with the Whitney Museum, which organized a major O'Keeffe retrospective during her lifetime. The Santa Fe institution is specifically devoted to O'Keeffe and her artistic legacy.
