Which museum received Georgia O'Keeffe's bequest and opened in Santa Fe in 1997?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum received her bequest and opened in Santa Fe in 1997.

The museum was established to preserve and present O'Keeffe's art, life, and creative process. It opened to the public on July 17, 1997, several months after her death. Its collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and archival materials connected with O'Keeffe and her circle.

O'Keeffe's connection with New Mexico was central to the museum's location. She first visited the state in 1929 and returned regularly before moving there permanently in the 1940s. Santa Fe became an important center for her work, even though she also maintained a home and studio at Abiquiu.

The museum is different from the nearby New Mexico Museum of Art and other regional institutions. Its primary focus is O'Keeffe, while other museums in the state present broader collections of Southwestern and modern art. The museum also manages the artist's former Abiquiu home and studio through tours and preservation programs.
