SAN ANTONIO \u2014 There\u2019s a new exhibition on display now through January in San Antonio featuring Texas music legend Selena Quintanilla-P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n
Over 30 years after her untimely death, the Tejano superstar is still making a name for herself. Now you can see never-before-seen photos on display at the Briscoe Western Art Museum in downtown San Antonio.<\/p>\n
The classic songs of Selena\u00a0echo through the room that was transformed into a time capsule.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really excited to be debuting the \u2018Selena Forever: Siempre Selena\u2019 exhibition here at the Briscoe Western Art Museum,\u201d said Valerie Burciaga, with the museum.<\/p>\n
The exhibit is made up of iconic photos of the superstar.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetween 1992 and 1994, capturing her rise to stardom during a pivotal time of Tejano music culture,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
Burciaga said it even includes some photos taken right here in the Alamo City.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis one was taken six months before her death, so she was 23,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
At 23 years old, Selena was shot to death in her hometown of Corpus Christi, but her star continued to rise.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelena is a pivotal icon even today, so many years after her death, in Tejano culture, in music culture,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
A part of the display at the museum is the superstar on multiple magazine covers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are some of the images that have never been shown together within this collection of the Selena Forever, as well as magazine covers that were captured by the same photographer, John Dyer,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
Her unique style, especially back then, still turns heads today \u2014 now inspiring a new generation.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer iconic red lipstick and the hoop earrings were a classic for every Mexican-American girl in the 90s,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is a precursor to a Tejano legacy exhibition that will open later this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just so excited to have the same families that grew up listening to her music passing those traditions on to their young daughters and inspiring new generations of fans of Selena,\u201d said Burciaga.<\/p>\n
