It is beautiful to see how Selena’s memory has remained alive the last two decades. I remember as a child my mom would bump Selena’s music and I would lip sync to it in front of the mirror. Now a whole new generation of little girls and boys are growing up with her music! We can thank social media, YouTube, and music streaming for that. And while our way to remember Selena may rely on the digital space, there are also real life sites where fans can remember and celebrate her at as well. Let’s take a look at a few of these locations.
Selena Museum
The Selena Museum is located in her hometown in Corpus Christi, Texas. Here you will able to see the record studio where Selena and Los Dinos recorded their music. There are also hundreds of Selena photographs and awards hanging on the walls. The most special part though is seeing different personal items that belonged to Selena such as her childhood dolls, her art sketches, and her iconic outfits.

Mirador de la Flor
Mirador de la Flor is the Selena monument also located in Corpus Christi, Texas. One side of the monument has a Selena statue looking out towards the sea and the other side a detailed white rose with a dedication plaque under it. The monument was unveiled in 1997.

Wax Figure
Selena’s original wax figure is located at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Hollywood, California. It was unveiled in a huge ceremony in 2017. The figure is dressed in her classic bustier look, with a fabulous purple jacket and knee high boots. I think Selena would approve of the outfit!
