Which museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as the first institution dedicated to Georgia O'Keeffe’s work?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997.

The museum was founded to preserve, study, and present O'Keeffe's art and life. It opened eleven years after her death and became the first museum in the United States dedicated to a woman artist of international stature. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and archival material related to O'Keeffe and her circle.

The museum is based in Santa Fe, the New Mexico city where O'Keeffe died in 1986. In addition to its downtown museum, the organization oversees the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú and the artist's research center.

It is sometimes confused with the New Mexico Museum of Art, another important Santa Fe institution. The New Mexico Museum of Art has displayed O'Keeffe's work, but it is not dedicated exclusively to her.
