3. Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

Georgia O’Keeffe was an artist that was known for painting stunning New Mexico Landscapes, skyscrapers in New York, and larger than usual flowers. According to many, she was the mother of American modernism. O’Keeffe stopped painting in 1972 due to her failing eyesight. She died at the ripe old age of 98 in 1986.

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was opened 11 years after O’Keeffe’s death. The museum is home to nearly 700 drawings by O’Keeffe as well as over 140 oil paintings by her. It makes for an ideal stop for any art enthusiasts travelling along route 66.
