From her early adventures across America to visiting Costa Rica at the age of 96, Georgia O’Keeffe was an avid traveler. Over her lifetime, O’Keeffe visited more than 49 countries across nearly every continent.

Beginning April 13th, visit the Museum’s latest exhibition, Around the World with O’Keeffe, at the O’Keeffe Welcome Center in Abiquiú. Learn about O’Keeffe’s international travels through a wide range of objects she collected on those trips, which influenced both her art and her design aesthetic. From informational pamphlets to cooking ingredients to design ideas for her home and garden, they reflect what she chose to keep as mementos of her travels-either to be shared as part of her home, or tucked away for her own viewing and recollections.
