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

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

The museum was established to preserve, study, and present O'Keeffe's art and life. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and archival materials connected with the artist and her circle. The museum's opening came eleven years after O'Keeffe's death.

Santa Fe was a fitting location because O'Keeffe lived and worked in northern New Mexico for much of her later life. She died in Santa Fe in 1986, and the region's architecture and landscape were essential subjects in her work.

The institution is distinct from the New Mexico Museum of Art, which also holds important works by O'Keeffe but has a broader collection. The O'Keeffe Museum also operates the preserved Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú.
