Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

Lonely Planet review

Possessing the largest collection of the master painter's work in the world, this museum is the most visited art attraction in Santa Fe. Seeing these paintings in person will move even the most casual O'Keeffe fans. Her thick brushwork and luminous colours don't always come through on the peeling posters you've kept since college; relish them here firsthand.

Possessing the largest collection of the master painter's work in the world, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is the most visited art attraction in Santa Fe. Seeing these paintings in person will move even the most casual O'Keeffe fans. Her thick brushwork and luminous colors don't always come through on the peeling posters you've kept since college; relish them here firsthand. You'll recognize some of the canvasses straight away: Abstraction White (1927) and Jimson Weed (1932) are practically cultural icons. And if you've already visited Abiquiú , O'Keeffe's home and studio for half a century, you'll marvel at how her artistic vision was able to render the area's ghostly intangibles, woven into landscapes and bones.
