Which New Mexico museum opened in 1997 to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in 1997 to preserve Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy.

Located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the museum opened eleven years after O'Keeffe died. It was created to present her art, life, and creative process through paintings, drawings, photographs, archival material, and educational programs. Its collection includes works from throughout her long career.

The museum's subject is broader than O'Keeffe's New Mexico paintings. Visitors can also encounter her early abstractions, flower studies, city scenes, still lifes, and works connected with her time in New York and Texas. This breadth helps show how her style changed over decades.

Santa Fe has several important art institutions, including the New Mexico Museum of Art. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is distinct because it is dedicated specifically to O'Keeffe and the contexts surrounding her work.
