The Grammy Museum presents “Selena: From Texas to the World,” a special pop-up exhibition celebrating the enduring legacy of Selena, an icon whose impact on music, fashion and culture continues to inspire generations around the world. The limited-time exhibit runs from Jan. 15-March 16 and marks the first official display of Selena’s personal items outside of the Selena Museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Curated in collaboration with Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister, CEO and president of Q-Productions and executor of the Selena Estate, the exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into Selena’s life, artistry and groundbreaking career. Beyond her chart-topping success, Selena was a fashion pioneer whose signature style, from shimmering bustiers and iconic stage outfits to bold red lipstick, continues to influence pop culture and street fashion today. Her charisma, determination and pride in her Mexican American heritage made her a symbol of empowerment for young women and Latin communities across the world.
The exhibit includes the outfit Selena wore on the cover of Amor Prohibido, complete with her signature gold hoop earrings; 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 (drums) and A.B. Quintanilla III (bass), as well as husband Chris Pérez (guitars). It also includes Selena’s microphone, still marked with her red lipstick, hand-drawn fashion designs from her teenage years and Selena’s personal cell phone.
The exhibition will be located in the Grammy Museum’s Fourth Floor Gallery, 800 W. Olympic Blvd. For information, call (213)725-5700, or visit grammymuseum.org.
