The Best Times: BVO and the River of Time Opens

May 1, 2026, The Best Times

Thank you to The Best Times for featuring the opening of Baron Von Opperbean and the River of Time and the continued transformation taking place on Mud Island.

The article highlights BVO’s May 1 opening inside the former Mississippi River Museum, along with the project’s long-term vision to expand the immersive experience across the building’s full 33,000-square-foot footprint. The feature also recognizes the collaborative efforts between BVO, the City of Memphis, and Memphis River Parks to revitalize the historic riverfront space for a new generation of visitors.

The piece includes insight into BVO’s phased growth, community investment support, and the broader creative and economic momentum building around Downtown Memphis.
