Selena Museum

The Queen of Tejano music Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was an iconic, Grammy-winning Latin pop artist who even in her young years became the world’s highest-charting artist in her genre. In her lifetime, she recorded a total of four albums, but her years were cut short at the age of 23 when she was murdered by a fan – specifically, the former president of the fan club dedicated to her. After her passing in 1995, her career was honored, revered, and remembered by many. In 1998, her family opened the Selena Museum as an attachment to their studio, the Q-Productions studio. To see her fun spirit, pay respects to her memory, and learn about the crucial figure in musical history, the Selena Museum in Texas offers that and more. At the museum, you’ll see portraits, famous costumes, gold and platinum albums, stories of Selena’s life, her very loved red Porsche, recreations of her studio, awards, and her impact on the music scene. Whether or not you’re a fan, this is one of the things to do in Corpus Christi that you shouldn’t miss. Don’t forget that, when you’re done, you can go to the seawall of Seaside Memorial Park to view her memorial bronze statue, which is named Overlook of the Flower or Mirador de la Flor.
