So grateful I got to visit the Georgia O'keeffe Museum - she's such an iconic and unique artist. Definitely plan ahead for tickets because it gets busy and sold out for timeslots. I paid $24 and it included an audio headset for a self-guided tour. Unfortunately, mine stopped working and I didn't feel like swimming upstream for a new one, so I made do without. There are plenty of placards to read so I learned a lot even though it is a smaller museum. I appreciated that the back room had an exhibit of other artists inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe, as it added some variety and helps showcase newer work. It only took us about an hour or so to get through the museum but I enjoyed it. Everyone we interacted with there was super friendly and helpful. I think it's worth a quick stop if you're in Santa Fe and an art lover. read more

*Been wanting to visit and this did not disappoint * It gets super busy and they do reserved time slots... but also take do walk ins and we got lucky as we went earlier and got to enjoy it without feeling crowded. * Not a large museum and you can enjoy the museum in about 2 hours. *PRO Tip: Get the audio guided tour which is FREE included in your ticket purchase- it will give you a better appreciation and more information. You have the option of using your own phone app and ear buds or getting a device from the check in station. Whatever you decide- highly encourage doing the audio tour * Some very interesting pieces that I hadn't seen before- while OKeefe is known for her flowers... her techniques and subjects were more expansive than I knew. * The special exhibit Tewa Country beautifully weaves history, art, controversy while gleaning new perspectives and also celebrating O'Keeffe's art in its own. *Backpacks are not allowed in the museum but lockers for free available. * Parking is challenging downtown Santa Fe- but fortunately the Plaza area is very walkable. * Construction for a new and larger museum is underway and I look forward to visiting again read more

Georgia O'Keeffe Museum - Art Museums Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

A very small, expensive museum that with a limited collection that disrespects its namesake. I cannot recommend this museum. Many of O'Keefe's most well-known works were bought up by bigger museums (Met, Art Institute of Chicago, etc), and so this museum mainly has smaller pieces and studies. The curation is a bit thin, loosely chronological with some decent historical commentary, but not much placement within the broader artistic traditions within she worked. Several of her stronger pieces were stuck in weird crannies, like the side of a room showing a movie about her life, or in odd places where viewing them is blocked by installations in the center of the room. On the day we went, a show showcasing local artists' responses to her work dominated 1/3 of the exhibition space, with several of her works unceremoniously sprinkled among the local works. One of her most important late works, portraying a pelvic bone, was positioned along a passageway, while a work by a local artist riffing on the work was positioned front and center. read more

Gayle and I recently retuned to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, of which she is one of Gayle's favorite artists. The only thing missing was a tour of her house up at Ghost Ranch, of which we'll resolve next year. We took the audio tour which helped explain things well, but bogged down a bit in the early middle. My interested picked up once she moved to New Mexico (from New York), and accelerated with the The "Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country," Exhibit. This exhibition placed O'Keeffe's art in dialogue with the works of twelve contemporary Tewa artists to explore themes of sacred space, land ownership, and identity. I was particular enamored with "Tewa Tales of Suspense", an ongoing series of ceramic tiles and prints created by Santa Clara Pueblo artist Jason Garcia (Okuu Pín). He reimagines Native history and modern Pueblo life through the vibrant, action-packed visual style of classic Marvel comic book covers. read more

I visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum while in Santa Fe. It was a short walk from my hotel. My entry was free because I provided my tribal enrollment card for entry. An exhibit regarding the Tewa Tales (Pueblo tribes ) point of view of the artist. It kind of left a negative impression of the artist after reading the statements from the tribal members. The artist is known for stating " it's my private mountain, it belongs to me ".... It continues with more details that I won't get into . As a tribal member of two Pueblo tribes from AZ and NM. I understood the natives view about the artist . Overall , I think it was a nice exhibit , well put together and had a small store attached to the museum for those interested in purchasing souvenirs. I'm glad I visited since it is a part of art history. read more

This is a small museum presenting just some of the works of Georgia O'Keeffe. We liked some of the works but many were works that appeared to be practice works. Given that, and the size of this museum, the entry price seemed a bit too high. Sorry, but it doesn't get a recommend from me. read more

This is a nice stop to make if you are visiting Santa Fe. Had so much fun! It is very well curated and does show her life and work pretty comprehensively. It is on the smaller side, so you probably wouldn't spend all day here. read more

Will return. What a treat: we enjoyed two hours private tour at the museum of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986). She's my top three artist. I even bought a matching flowery dress when I went to see one of her exhibits in New York a few years ago. This museum was opened in 1997. It's small (Santa Fe is a small town!) and the paintings they've, are rather small too. I think the museums in New York and DC have far more magnificent 气势磅礴 works of hers. "Mother of American modernism", was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Virginia and the Teachers College, Columbia University. Her eventual husband Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a photographer and modern art promoter, who held an exhibit in New York for her in 1917. He would divorce his fellow photographer/artist Emmeline Obermayer in 1924 and married O'Keeffe the same year. The frames: they look thin. The docent said they were designed by the artist herself. Reportedly can prevent bugs as well as wine (they do rent out the museum space). O'Keeffe was often the harshest judge of her own work, and even went so far as to destroy paintings that did not meet her standards. In some cases this was because a work had been damaged-including damage that she considered to have been done by careless conservators. She had been visiting New Mexico (Santa Fe, Taos, etc.) during her marriage. After his death in 1946, she soon moved to New Mexico for the rest of her life; spending the last few years in Santa Fe and passed away there. Among list of artists who enjoyed success and recognition during their own lifetime, she was the only female artist among the 10 men: Pablo Picasso Leonardo da Vinci Michelangelo Claude Monet Pierre-Auguste Renoir Rembrandt Salvador Dalí Andy Warhol Georgia O'Keeffe Henri Matisse Paul Cézanne Till 1986, her works fetched the highest amount at the auctions, among female artists. Now her works only trail behind Yayoi Kusama (1929-) and Joan Mitchell (1925-92), one is still alive and one dead six years after her. She enjoyed cooking, perhaps was also the farm to table pioneer. The exhibits of her kitchen wears, pots, pans and notebooks are hers but her Leica camera on display wasn't, the museum explained that she used the same model. Love the honesty. One thing I thought she was above the rest was she didn't sign her works, because she believed her distinctive and unique style would be easily recognized. Which is so true. The female docent said, "she said, 'you don't sign your face, do you?'" A little (or a lot) like Marguerite Duras (1914-96), or any elderly person who relies on a much younger companion. O'Keeffe hired an assistant Juan Hamilton (John Bruce; 1946-) in 1973, after suffering vision lose. He was 27, a divorced potter at the time. She left her estate to him, but to avoid lengthy litigation, he gave up much of that estate (houses and paintings ...) because "if he were to fight that fight, he would spend 10 to 15 years, which would be an entire career, and neither Miss O'Keeffe (how he loved to call her) nor he would ever want that." O'Keeffe was captivated by the view of Cerro Pedernal (Flint Mountain), which has been a sacred and significant site to many Indigenous and Hispano communities for thousands of years. O'Keeffe's own immense love and respect for this mountain is exhibited in her numerous depictions of the view from her front yard. According to the docent, her ashes are spread here. read more

Stopped by 2 hours before close on a Saturday and they were not letting anymore patrons in because it was "sold out" for the day. Thus we were unable to visit as they were closed the following day on Easter Sunday, which was our last day in town. I would recommend coming early, or booking your tickets in advance online if you prefer to come in the afternoon. read more

Finally made it inside. Been wanting to go for years. Timed tickets and will probably take about an hour. New building going in down the street. Very interesting place, lots to read. You can also get audio tour. She was an incredible lady. Nice gift shop. read more

Loved the video about her life in the beginning of the museum, then you walk to see her work, then near the end you see real items from her life like her clothes, recipe cards, and pastel boxes. So neat. I like the way it's arranged here. It tells the story well about her work and life. Also, the museum store is one of the best I've ever been in, high end items, beautiful pieces of jewelry, tote bags, and nice keepsakes. read more

What else is there to say but just truly magnificent. Georgia was an independent spirit of the Southwest and her art really shows it. Happy to have stopped in. My mom had a print growing up and it was awesome to see the real deal in person. read more

When in Santa Fe you should take the opportunity to view original works by this iconic artist. You'll need to book your tickets ahead of time and they do sell out. We didn't know this but fortunately upon arrival we were able to purchase tickets to return a few hours later. The museum is small but if you take your time, watch the film and take a spin through the gift shop you can spend about an hour here. I really enjoyed learning more about O'Keeffe and viewing her beautiful artworks. read more

No visit to Santa Fe is complete without a visit to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Whether you're already a fan of O'Keeffe's prolific art or are merely a casual admirer, the museum has numerous ways of studying her work and learning more about her life, with several rooms exhibiting her art and detailing her other passions (including photography, cooking, and design). The gift shop is interesting as well, offering various items inspired by O'Keeffe and other makers -- the perfect way to celebrate independent creatives! read more

Great museum featuring the works of Georgia O'Keeffe. We learned a lot about her. Was interesting to learn about her life, relationships, travel, and how that all came through in her work. Smaller museum, but dense with stuff if you take the time to peruse. Beautiful space overall. Would recommend read more

Bought tickets to reserve a time but the place was still crowded. There are many of her art paintings here, along with a locker room, gift shop and bathrooms. Well organized with lots of staff. They are breaking ground across the street to build a New museum to hold her work but this one seemed large enough. Only problem is no parking. And Santa Fe horrible to try to drive in. read more

Small, overpriced collection. We visited the Georgia O'Keefe museum on a Friday night when the museum fees were waived. We encountered about 40 people during our visit. The visit only took about 25 minutes to peruse the 9 rooms. The museum has an overview of the Georgia O'Keefe's life, and the small collection is padded with pieces from other artists. There were several good pieces in the museum, but shockingly little of her art was on display. I'm glad that we timed our visit when admission was free because the experience is certainly not worth $22. Overall, I would recommend omitting the Georgia O'Keefe museum from your Santa Fe itinerary and find her art at a different museum. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, that is always a deal breaker. Loved learning about GOK and seeing all of her work. I've definitely seen more impressive pieces of hers at MoMA in nyc and elsewhere however this museum houses some of her earlier works and really highlights her relationship with New Mexico. Overall glad we came here. Knocked off a star due to the fact that this is a pretty pricy museum for the size. It is a very well maintained museum so at least it's well loved and not a crusty dusty neglected museum, but still quite expensive. The international folk art museum on museum hill is also worth a visit!! Capitol building is also incredible for artwork. read more

This is a fairly small, but with a complete representation of O'Keeffe's career. The museum has a well curated collection from each phase of her artistic production, with a good narrative about her life and work. read more

So when I travel, I center as much of a trip as I can around the book 1000 places to see before you die. This museum is listed as 1 of the 1000 things: the Georgia O'Keeffe trail. And it was well worth the stop. It's a small museum with just the right amount of history and biography to go with her amazing works of art. She was an inspiration, and her work is beautiful. I just couldn't take pictures because I think everyone needs to see it for themselves. They are actually building a bigger museum down the street. read more

We tried to visit the museum today but it was MOBBED with visitors. There was a 90 minute wait for ticketed entry, and we could see that the first gallery was just packed with people. Not my idea of setting up a good museum experience. Rather than waiting the 90 minutes and dealing with the massive crowd, we opted to leave instead. read more

A small museum devoted to a larger than life artist. I enjoyed learning about Georgia O'Keeffe through her art, her clothes, and objects from her daily life. I will carry stories of her "rambles" with me. The audio tour could use a refresh to make it easier to navigate. And, of course I'd love to see a few more of her pieces. I'm hopeful that the new location currently under construction will have an expanded footprint, collection, and technology. read more

I want to stay all day and drink in the beauty of Georgia O'Keefe's wonderful work. !!

A Santa Fe must! We have been twice while visiting from Denver. We have used our Denver Art Museum membership both times to access this museum at no additional cost. Both times we enjoyed the curated art. Some variations between visits and some static pieces. It's all amazing and the audio accompaniment is very good too. We enjoyed the various artistic efforts of Georgia O'Keefe over her life span and to get a glimpse into her home life with some original materials etc from her workshop. The staff is very aggressive when it comes to closing time so don't linger or they will make it loud and awkward for you. Other than that, this is well worth the price of admission. read more

While I'm glad we stopped at this museum on our cross country trip, it is not worth planning a visit around. The museum is rather small and is very crowded despite the timed entry system. The gallery design is not great, with rambling rooms requiring doubling back to see everything. Many of her best works are not on display here, but are at places like the Chicago Art Institute. Her early works, and being able to see a developmental pathway in her style, were the best parts of this museum. It takes about an hour to explore everything, another hour if you want to go back and look at things again like we did. read more

Interesting and worthwhile museum while you're out here in Santa Fe. Didn't know much about Georgia except how her paintings look like vaginas, but it turns out, she's a ton of fun to get to know. Loved all the quotes and the evolution of her art and perspective on art throughout her life. Got to see her change over the years and from skyscrapers to flowers without any of the male stamen parts, it was fascinating to see. Come when they open at 10am on the weekday to feel like you have the place to yourself, if only a little while. 5 stars!!! read more

During my recent visit to Santa Fe, my friend and I booked our tickets to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum way in advance, as we heard that it sells out quickly. The museum is located just off the main drag in downtown Santa Fe. Though it was bustling, it wasn't sold out when we arrived. Tickets are relatively inexpensive. You have an option to do an audio tour, but I usually like to read about each piece and walk through on my own. The tour starts with a short film about the artist's life. Then you walk through rooms of paintings and other works in pretty much a chronological order to give the story of her life through art. The museum is relatively small, but I enjoyed the artwork and the information. I enjoy learning about both art and history. There are also several preserved belongings of hers on display, such as clothing and household items. I think my main critiques of the museum are that it is relatively small, and that they completely ignore some of the more controversial aspects of her life which are really some of the more interacting aspects. Perhaps it is for the purpose of creating something more "family friendly", but I feel is is a missed opportunity to tell her story. read more

The Georgia O'Keeffe is a cute little museum located in the heart of Santa Fe. Although Georgia was not a New Mexico native, she quickly became enamored with the landscapes and spent much of her adult life here. The museum features a collection of artwork and belongings of hers, along with some plaques walking visitors through her life. You can reserve your tickets in advance, and I highly recommend it, since tickets sell out often. Tickets were $20 for non-NM-residents as of 5/27/23 which is a bit more expensive than a lot of the other nearby museums in the area. Overall, for the price, I thought the museum was a bit too small. You can read every single word in the museum and still easily finish under an hour. I think what they have here is good, but it feels like there should be more. This was entertaining for my group for only about 30 min and while it was really cool to see her work, I think this museum could be more interesting. However, if you are a big fan of her, I think you should still visit here. read more

Very small museum. Only go if you're a fan. Check the web site to see if you think it would be worth it. The ticket price is too high, $22, for the size of the collection. The Denver Art Museum is $27 and takes all day. Huge collection. I saw and read everything in under an hour. Part of the collection isn't her work which is fine except that's the primary reason to go. I was there for the first day, November 7, 2025, after a remodel. I was really excited because I like her work but ended up mostly disappointed and stunned they would charge that much for how little of her art they have. The pieces they have of course are nice. read more

Perfect way to spend the morning - takes less than 2 hours because it is a bit on the smaller size. Lots of nice work. Educational. Gets crowded even though they time your entrance to spread out the crowd. Suggest you go in the AM. The gift shop had a good variety of books about Ms. O'Keefe. Worth the time. $22 entry fee seemed high. read more

NOTE: Buy a timed-entry ticket in advance online. The museum was worth the rather high admission fee. We spent about 90 minutes in the museum. I had learned bits and pieces about Georgia O'Keefe's life and art in the past; this museum brought it all together into a coherent whole. Downloadable audioguide worked well. read more
