We drove into Corpus Christi to visit the Selena Museum and also the USS Lexington. It is a rainy day so being indoors is good. I had always wanted to visit this museum but had never made the time to do it. The Girls were excited about coming here too as they have seen the movie several times.
Selena was a very young Hispanic singer that was very very popular in the 80s & 90s. She was very popular until her life was cut short by her fan club president. It was very sad when she passes away.
Selena Y Los Dinos (her Band). This is where she recorded all her music. It is still in use, Many artists still record here.
Her Sister, Suzette, was the drummer. She runs the museum. These were her drums.
Selena owned this red Porsche Targa.
Her many awards….. This was the guitar her brother played at her last concert.
Selena’s dream was to be a designer and she designed most of her outfits.
This is the outfit she wore for her last concert and she was buried in one just like it.
I saw Mr. Quintanilla, Selena’s Dad, around the museum and I also saw Suzette and asked her if she would please autograph the posters Larissa and Arianna bought. They also bought Selena dolls. She was very nice to oblige.
These are the coaches the band now travels in. The Brother, Abe Quintanilla, who was the guitarist with the band, still is in the business.
It was a great pleasure visiting this museum. I complemented Suzette for the great job she has done here.
