The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles will host a special pop-up exhibit honoring Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Scheduled from January 15 to March 16, 2026, the display titled "Selena: From Texas to the World" marks a historic moment as personal artifacts from the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas, will be shown outside the state for the first time. Curated with Selena's sister Suzette Quintanilla, who serves as president of Q Productions, the exhibit will feature approximately 15 items including the white beaded gown worn at the 1994 Grammys, the leather outfit from the "Amor Prohibido" album cover, and a microphone from her final performance still bearing her lipstick. Additional items include her Grammy award, Lifetime Achievement Award, hand-drawn fashion designs from her teen years, and guitars from Chris Pérez's personal collection. All descriptions will be available in English and Spanish, celebrating her bicultural legacy.
Historic Display Brings Selena's Legacy to Los Angeles
The exhibit represents the first time items from the Selena Museum have traveled beyond Texas. Grammy Museum curator Kelsey Goelz explained that Suzette Quintanilla personally selected each piece for display. Among the most significant artifacts is the white beaded gown Selena wore when accepting her Grammy for best Mexican/Mexican American album in 1994. The iconic leather outfit with ruffle collar and hoop earrings from the "Amor Prohibido" cover will also be featured. Perhaps most personal is the microphone from her final performance, still marked with her lipstick. Guitars from Chris Pérez, lead guitarist of Selena y Los Dinos and her husband, round out the collection. Los Angeles serves as a fitting location, as Selena received a posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2017, drawing record crowds.
