Next year, the GRAMMY Museum will present Selena: From Texas To The World. The special pop-up exhibition celebrates the enduring legacy of Selena, an icon whose impact on music, fashion, and culture continues to inspire generations around the world.
Selena: From Texas To The World opens Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026, and runs through Monday, March 16, 2026. The limited-time exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into Selena's life, artistry, and groundbreaking career. The upcoming GRAMMY Museum exhibit also marks the first official display of Selena’s personal artifacts outside of the Selena Museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas.
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, and the Lillie Rubin gown Selena wore to the 1994 GRAMMYS. 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. 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 and president of Q Productions. "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."
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."
