Selena Museum, Music star memorial museum in Corpus Christi, United States.
Description
The Selena Museum in Corpus Christi displays stage costumes, personal items, awards, and memorabilia from the life and career of Tejano music performer Selena Quintanilla. The space documents her work through photographs, recordings, and objects that trace her artistic journey.
History
Selena's family established this memorial space in 1998, about three years after her death in 1995, to preserve her artistic legacy. The museum was created while her impact on the music industry remained fresh in public memory.
Culture
The museum shows how much Selena meant to Tejano music fans across different communities and countries. Visitors see personal items and photographs that reveal how deeply she connected with her audiences.
Practical
The museum is housed in the Q Productions building where Selena worked and lived, allowing visitors to walk through her actual spaces. It helps to arrive early since visitor numbers can be limited at times and the rooms are relatively small.
