Editor’s Note: This article was updated on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, to add information about the extended dates of the Selena: From Texas To The World exhibit, which now runs through Monday, May 11, 2026.

Due to popular demand, the Grammy Museum's special pop-up exhibit, Selena: From Texas To The World, has been extended through Monday, May 11, 2026. The special pop-up exhibition, which opened in January, celebrates 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 offers an intimate glimpse into Selena's life, artistry, and groundbreaking career. The exhibit also marks the first official display of Selena’s personal artifacts outside of the Selena Museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. The exhibit has become one of the most popular exhibits in the Museum’s 18-year history, attracting both returning guests and new visitors from Los Angeles, a city that has long embraced Selena, as well as from throughout California and beyond.

Highlights from the Selena: From Texas To The World exhibit include the outfit Selena wore on the cover of Amor Prohibido, complete with her signature gold hoop earrings. Selena’s microphone — still marked with her red lipstick — personal cell phone, and hand-drawn fashion designs from her teen years will also be on display.

Beginning Wednesday, March 18, Selena's iconic purple jumpsuit will be added to the exhibit. This will replace Selena's stunning white gown she wore to the 1994 Grammys, which will remain on display through Sunday, March 15. Selena wore the purple jumpsuit while performing at the Houston Astrodome on Feb. 26, 1995, a concert that drew more than 66,000 attendees, surpassing her previous attendance record from the year before. Known for designing many of her own stage costumes, Selena created the now-iconic, purple, bell-bottomed jumpsuit and matching jacket, which became one of her most recognizable looks. The ensemble was later depicted in the 1997 film Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez.

Visitors to the exhibit can also view instruments played by Selena’s siblings Suzette Quintanilla (snare drum) and A.B. Quintanilla III (bass), and the guitars used by her former husband, Chris Pérez. Selena's GRAMMY Award and Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award will also be on display.

Selena: From Texas To The World is curated in collaboration with Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister, CEO/president of Q Productions, and executor of the Selena Estate. "The Quintanilla Family & Chris Pérez are deeply honored to share Selena’s story and legacy with fans in such a meaningful way," she said in a statement. "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."

Selena Live!, a live album recorded in Corpus Christi, Texas, earned Selena her first GRAMMY, for Best Mexican-American Album at the 1994 GRAMMYS, marking the first time a woman Tejano artist won a GRAMMY Award.

"Selena and our band were extremely proud to receive a GRAMMY for our live concert," Suzette Quintanilla continued. "This exhibit is a beautiful tribute to her spirit, her culture and the unwavering love she had for fans."

Selena's fourth studio album, Amor Prohibido, released on March 22, 1994, by EMI Latin and nominated for a Grammy for Best Mexican-American Album, will be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame at this year's Grammy Hall of Fame Gala, presented by the Grammy Museum and the Recording Academy, on Friday, May 8.

Beyond her chart-topping success, Selena was a fashion pioneer whose signature style — which included shimmering bustiers, iconic stage outfits, and 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.

"Selena’s impact transcends genres and generations. She paved the way for so many artists who followed in her footsteps," GRAMMY Museum Curator Kelsey Goelz said 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."

"We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love from Selena fans who have visited this special exhibit at the iconic Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Its extension is a powerful testament to her enduring spirit, carried forward by fans across generations," Suzette Quintanilla said in a statement.

"It has been an honor to witness the extraordinary response to this exhibit at the Grammy Museum. Selena's artistry and cultural impact continue to resonate deeply, and we are proud to extend this experience for the many fans who keep her spirit alive," Goelz added
