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

The museum that received Georgia O'Keeffe's personal collection and opened in Santa Fe in 1997 was the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. It was established to preserve, study, and present O'Keeffe's art, life, and legacy. The museum opened on July 17, 1997, eleven years after her death.

The institution holds the world's largest collection of O'Keeffe's work, along with photographs, personal papers, and other archival material. Its holdings cover her entire career, from early abstractions and flower paintings to New Mexico landscapes, bones, architecture, and later works.

The museum is often confused with Crystal Bridges, which owns Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, or with the Museum of Modern Art, which has also exhibited O'Keeffe. Those institutions hold important works, but the Santa Fe museum is the specialized institution named for her.

The museum's broader work includes exhibitions, scholarship, education, and preservation. It also oversees historic sites connected with O'Keeffe, including her homes in Abiquiú and Ghost Ranch, helping visitors understand the environments that shaped her art.
