Grammy Museum Extends Selena Quintanilla Exhibit After Record Turnout

An exhibit honoring the life and legacy of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez has been extended at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles due to popular demand.

The pop-up exhibition titled “Selena: From Texas To The World” opened on Jan. 15, 2026. It was initially scheduled to close on March 16, but with fans from Southern California and beyond regularly lining up outside the entrance, the museum extended the exhibit to May 11.

A spokesperson told Urban Hollywood 411 the exhibition is one of the most popular in the museum’s 18-year history.

Selena died at age 23 in 1995. Known as the “Queen of Tejano Music,” the Grammy Award-winning artist remains beloved by fans around the world.

Urban Hollywood 411 attended the media preview before the exhibit officially opened. Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla and the singer’s widower, Chris Pérez, joined reporters and said the “I Could Fall in Love” performer would have been proud.

“We’re very happy that Selena’s exhibit is displayed here with so many other iconic artists that I know she was a fan of, and she would have been extremely happy,” Pérez told us.

A musician himself, he was a guitarist for the group Selena y Los Dinos, a Tejano band formed by Selena and her family. Suzette was also a member of the band and currently serves as executor of The Selena Estate. She praised the Los Angeles museum for recognizing her late sister.

“I just want to give big thanks to the Grammy Museum for reaching out and making this happen, Suzette said.

There’s a tribute mural outside the museum, which was painted by Los Angeles artist Mister Toledo. He told us it was an honor to be selected to contribute to the exhibition.

“Me being Mexican American, it means a lot because I grew up listening to her music,” he said. [You can watch the interview here].

The exhibit includes videos of Selena performing, costumes, album covers, and personal items like her cellphone, and a microphone that still has her lipstick on it from the last time she performed. The artifacts are on loan from the Selena Museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas.

The items will be returned to Texas, after the pop-up exhibit closes. You can find additional information about the exhibit on the Grammy Museum website.
