Which museum opened in Santa Fe to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's art and archives?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's art and archives.

The museum opened on July 17, 1997, more than a decade after O'Keeffe's death. It was established in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a city closely connected with the artist's later life and career. The museum's holdings include paintings, drawings, photographs, personal papers, and other materials related to O'Keeffe and American modernism.

The institution is not limited to one building or one type of object. Its main museum is in a historic downtown building, while the organization also operates the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú and the nearby Research Center. The museum's creation reflects O'Keeffe's deep connection to northern New Mexico and helps distinguish her work from the broader collections of New Mexico's state and regional art museums.
