The Memphis Pyramid / Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid

The Memphis Pyramid originally opened as the Great American Pyramid arena in 1991 and was redeveloped and reopened as Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid in 2015. The conversion added a large retail complex, an indoor swamp, a hotel, and an observation deck atop the 321-foot steel-and-concrete pyramid. The structure’s oversized pyramid silhouette and interior theme are frequently photographed and circulated online, where images of the building are often used in architecture-related memes and commentary.
