Grateful to Erika Cain and Memphis Parent for featuring Baron Von Opperbean and the River of Time and sharing the experience through the lens of Memphis families and discovery.

The article explores the opening of BVO inside the former Mississippi River Museum on Mud Island, highlighting the immersive environments, interactive storytelling, preserved elements of the original museum, and the creative vision shaping the evolving experience. It also reflects on the larger momentum surrounding downtown Memphis, Mud Island, and the city’s growing creative ecosystem.

We’re grateful to be included among the many people, organizations, and public partners working to help reimagine what Memphis can become for future generations.
