Tejano music legend Selena Quintanilla-Perez may have passed away 30 years ago, but her legacy continues to shine. To honour the iconic Latin music star, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles will launch a special pop-up exhibit in 2026. Titled Selena: From Texas to the World, the exhibit will run from January 15 to March 16 at the museum in downtown Los Angeles. What To Expect From This Exhibit? As per reports, the exhibit was curated in collaboration with Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister. The exhibit will showcase Selena’s personal artefacts from the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas. This will also mark the first time that Selena’s items have been shown outside of her home state. During an interview with the Associated Press, Grammy Museum curator Kelsey Goelz revealed, “Suzette really handpicked the items that we’re going to have the pleasure of displaying in the pop-up.” She also shared that nearly 15 items will be displayed in the exhibit and added, “Selena’s legacy is not going anywhere. The conversation is still going. So, you know, why not start allowing fans to see some more stuff?” Talking about Selena’s items, Goelz further noted, “I think the most spectacular would be her Grammy gown that she wore to the ’94 Grammys, when she won best Mexican/Mexican American album. It’s a very beautiful white beaded gown.” She also added, “The leather outfit she wore on the cover of ‘Amor Prohibido’, the ruffle collar, the hoop earrings. Just, like, these little things, like the hoop earrings, make Selena, Selena. We’re also getting the microphone she used in her final performance that still has her lipstick on it.” Additionally, Selena’s Grammy and Lifetime Achievement Award will also be on display at the museum, as well as her hand-drawn fashion designs from her teen years. Goelz also mentioned that all descriptions in the exhibition will be available in both English and Spanish. What To Expect From The Exhibit? As Goelz stated in the interview, attendees can expect a fan engagement moment and an interactive experience. “It’s incredibly special to share these treasured items, for the very first time outside of our Selena Museum, at the iconic Grammy Museum in Los Angeles,” Suzette Quintanilla stated in an official statement. “Selena and our band were extremely proud to receive a Grammy for our live concert. This exhibit is a beautiful tribute to her spirit, her culture and the unwavering love she had for fans,” she added.
