Quintanilla III (bass), and Chris Pérez (guitars) - Selena’s microphone, still marked with her red lipstick - Hand-drawn fashion designs from her teenage years - Selena’s personal cell phone *No special ticket is required beyond general admission.* Pre-sale tickets purchased before January 15, 2026, will be valid for entry throughout the full duration of the exhibition.
