Which New Mexico museum houses Georgia O'Keeffe's personal collection and papers?

The story behind the answer

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum houses Georgia O'Keeffe's personal collection and papers. The museum opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe's death.

Its holdings include paintings, drawings, and other works by O'Keeffe, along with archival materials documenting her life and career. The museum also operates the Georgia O'Keeffe Research Center, which supports scholarship on the artist and modern American art.

O'Keeffe had strong connections to New Mexico, where she first visited in 1929 and later lived near Abiquiu. Her home and studio at Abiquiu are preserved as a historic site and are managed by the museum.

The Museum of New Mexico, Harwood Museum of Art, and Albuquerque Museum also hold important Southwestern art, but they are not the institution named for O'Keeffe or the primary home of her personal archive.
