Which museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to honor Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and work?

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997 to honor Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and work.

The museum opened on July 17, 1997, more than a decade after O’Keeffe’s death. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, photographs, and personal materials connected with the artist and her career.

The museum’s main building occupies a historic adobe structure in downtown Santa Fe. It also administers O’Keeffe-related sites, including her Abiquiu home and studio, which became a National Historic Landmark in 1998.

The museum is distinct from the New Mexico Museum of Art, also located in Santa Fe. O’Keeffe’s importance to New Mexico art is broad, but the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is the institution specifically founded around her legacy.
