Which museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as the first museum devoted to Georgia O'Keeffe?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 as the first museum devoted to her art and life.

The museum was established after O'Keeffe’s death to preserve, study, and exhibit her work. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and archival materials. The museum also manages historical sites connected with O'Keeffe, including her Abiquiú home and studio, which help explain the landscapes and objects that shaped her art.

Santa Fe was a natural location for the institution because O'Keeffe lived and worked in New Mexico for much of her later life. The museum contributes to the city’s role as a major center for Southwestern art and cultural tourism.

It should not be confused with the New Mexico Museum of Art or the Museum of International Folk Art, both also located in Santa Fe. Those institutions have broader collections and different founding histories.
