LOS ANGELES — The Queen of Tejano music’s legacy continues to be honored, and this time by the Grammy Museum with a special pop-up exhibition next year.
“Selena: From Texas to the World” opened Thursday and runs through March 16, 2026. The exhibition will mark the first time some of Selena’s personal artifacts will be on display outside of the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Selena’s sister and president of Q Productions, Suzette Quintanilla, collaborated in creating “Selena: From Texas to the World.”
“The Quintanilla family and Chris Pérez are deeply honored to share Selena’s story and legacy with fans in such a meaningful way,” she said in a statement. “This exhibit is a beautiful tribute to her spirit, her culture and the unwavering love she had for fans.”
In 1994, Selena won a Grammy for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album for “Selena Live!” In doing so, she became the first female Tejano artist to win a Grammy.
In 2021, Selena was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Grammy.
“Selena’s impact transcends genres and generations. She paved the way for so many artists who followed in her footsteps,” said Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum curator, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to celebrate her at the Grammy Museum, where lifelong fans can feel closer to her and a new generation can discover her.”
“Selena: From Texas to the World,” highlights will include:
- The outfit Selena wore on the cover of “Amor Prohibido,” complete with her signature gold hoop earrings (Fun fact … the music video for “Amor Prohibido” was filmed in Southern California at Joshua Tree National Park.)
- The white beaded Lillie Rubin gown Selena wore to the 1994 Grammy Awards
- Selena’s Grammy Award and Lifetime Achievement Award
- Instruments played by Selena’s siblings Suzette Quintanilla (snare drum) and A.B. Quintanilla III (bass), as well as her widow Chris Pérez (guitars)
- Selena’s microphone, still marked with her red lipstick
- Hand-drawn fashion designs from her teenage years
- Selena’s personal cellphone
Selena became the No. 1 selling female artist in Latin music history and is acclaimed for hits such as “Como La Flor,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” “I Could Fall In Love” and “Dreaming Of You.”
Last year, Netflix released “Selena y Los Dinos” with never-before-seen footage and intimate interviews celebrating the life and legacy of the iconic Mexican American singer.
