The Georgia O'Keefe Museum, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is named for Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986) who was devoted to creating imagery that expressed what she called "the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it." O'Keefe's images-often instantly recognizable as hers-include large-scale flowers, New York cityscapes, animal bones, and the high deserts and dramatic cliffs of her beloved New Mexico.

One of the most important artists of the 20th century, The Museum's permanent collection of over 130 O'Keefe paintings, drawings, and sculpture is the largest in the world. Throughout the year, visitors can see a changing selection of at least 50 of these works. In addition, the Museum presents special exhibitions that are either devoted entirely to O'Keefe's work or that combine examples of her art with works by her American modernist contemporaries.

Facilities: Restrooms, a gift shop, and a caf are all provided at Georgia O'Keefe Museum.
