I have been to Aspinwall House for biennale.. The place is awesome and easily accessible. And moreover the navigations given inside the hall makes it pretty easy to move.. and furthermore there are sufficient volunteers to help the visitors for anything...

This is a place of art lovers and people who can try to understand it. The place is heavily crowded during the bienniale. You can see the life time work of many artists the place is usually open from 10 to 6 and has a very long and large no. Of mouthopening pieces of art the place is just adjacent to the backwaters and has great eateries beside the backwaters to sit and relax

Something different, something you should probably see once, even if you dont understand most of what you see. It really has a different vibe to it. I guess its not open always, so please check beforehand if its open to public before going there. Its really hot inside the rooms though, the fans just arent enough to stop you from sweating. Worth a visit.

The old house provides for really interesting spaces and a labyrinth of serpentine art galleries. The location of the place is brilliant, being right next to the ferry dock and right at the water providing spectacular views. The cafe inside is placed magnificently, also with great views. The central courtyard gives space for relaxation and also stalls to be setup.

The best place to be in while at Fort Kochi. An old export house building complex once owned the Royal Family of Travancore turned into an Art gallery by the Kochi muziris Biennale foundation. 5 stars. Hats off. Amazing place to be in. See it to believe it. Its the pride of Fort Kochi.

I went there for Biennale and it was the most amazing art exhibition event of my life. Its huge and the variety of exhibits are stunning. They have represented the contemporary social issues through various arts. The creativity and depth of thoughts that go into each art definitely deserves a standing ovation. It was over all a brilliant exhibition. Apart from this the place is beautiful with a lot of trees and beautiful views. The bungalow is a beauty with takes us back to history. There is a lake view space where you could spend hours in peace. I am overwhelmed by the overall experience.

This place took my breathe away. On the edge of back waters, view is breathe taking. As a vanue for exhibit, perfect place. The rooms were connected, interestingly directing the visitors along with the art exhibition. A small cafe which serves baked goods and drinks, I found the prices steep as compared to the quality of food. Audio-visual rooms were air conditioned, with cushions and sittings to accompany the visitors. Different arts with inspiring artist is gonna amuse you for sure. Go visit this place, it will be a great experience for you.

Absolutely beautiful location by the waterside. One of the venues for the Kochi Biennale. Seemingly the largest and the one you cannot miss. The architecture is of colonial times build with the a large garden space in the centre and multiple buildings around the periphery. One side responds prettily to the waterfront with a jetty of its own beside the public ferry point. This side overlooks the port. The buildings are two storeyed with tall pitched tiled roofs that create a wonderful volume inside.

Beautiful place, lots of parts to the entire property itself. Itll take roughly around 3 hours to cover everything ( during Biennale). Magnificent view of the cargo docks can be seen from here.

During Kochi biennale, this is one of the main attractions where most of the installations and exhibits are housed. On one side it overlooks the backwaters and you can have some bites from the cafe and if youre lucky you may spot some dolphins! There are nice public open spaces in between the blocks.

This is the main venue for Kochi biennale. The building and its architecture is quite impressive and youll get a view to the lake from its backyard. The only drawback is the lack of a proper parking lot.

Now the Aspinwall House is so popular in locally and by internationally. Only one thing, You have to wait for the Biennale for entering there compound. Otherwise the compound is locked under guards.

What a beautiful place filled with supreme vibes of art. We can breathe art from Aspinwall house. I went to see the Beinnale and it was one of the unforgettable day if my life. The vintage architecture and pollution-free surroundings with lush green trees makes you serene at heart. It is situated at the heart of fort Cochin. As a whole, it is one of places to never miss at Cochin especially for the artsy peeps.

This place makes art accessible and affordable! The bienniale was incredible and I wish I could have spent days looking around. Prepare for some very intellectual artwork and some artwork that is a little more everyone-friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spaces in Kochi and I hope to return someday. (Entrance 100 Rs. and I think you can enter three times?)

The main center of kochi muziriz binale where you get the entry tickets and map of the venues. Its a vast area divided into different buildings. And art works were presented all over. Back area of the aspin wall is the sea which is really scenic.

Its the epic centre of the famous Kochi Muziris Biennale and the colonial structures and white wash takes you right back in time. There is beautiful and amble views of the lake. This is more like a garden enclosed by different age old buildings on all sides. There is a small pier that can be used as a boat jetty which is close to the fort kochi boat jetty. Since the first Biennale, this place has been its heart and also the spot for other artistic collaborations

Went here for Kochi-Muziris Binennale. Well Maintained. Biennale is spread across below venues. Aspinwall is the Major venue. If you are art enthusiast you will need at least a day to cover in Aspinwall. Aspinwall House is one of the main centers of the kochi muziris biennale 2018 -19 . the venue is clean and has all required facilities like Food courts , Toilets , ATM etc. Aspinwall house was established in 1867 by English trader John H Aspinwall. The place is well maintained while conserving its ancient history and heritage.

The Aspinwall House is part of the history of Kochi as a major trading centre for spices. I visited because the Kochi Biennale was being put up there. Nice colonial style architecture on the edge of the lake. The Kochi Biennale is also worth a visit.

This is the main venue for the Kochi Muziris Biennale. There are mainly 4 blocks with multiple floors comprising various rooms and halls. Every room comprises some art work or the other. There are few artworks installed outside the venue too. The ticket counters are open from 10AM in the morning. Entry is free in Mondays. Overall, really good. #Recommended #Kochi #FortKochi #Biennale

Brilliant display of artworks from all around the globe during Bienalle. Bienalle 2k18-2k19 seems to have art works based on various topics especially e-waste, socio economic suppression suffered due to emigration in various places, Ancient India etc. Take your own time to interpret all the art works to get the maximum out of it. Totally worth for a one day visit.

Biennale venue for Kochi-Muziris Cultural and art festival happened in every two years. Aspinwall House is the primary venue for Kochi-Muziris Biennale. Very nice place to learn and enjoy different cultures and art forms from around the world. Most of the halls have art installations that you may not understand what it is in its first view. Either read descriptions provides somewhere near to the art installations or get help from guide. One day itself may not be enough to cover this single location if you are really curios about the art installations.

I’m a big fan of Historical places and Archeological stuffs and all so I love this place so much and actually it was a company limited established in the year 1867 and the important thing is this heritage space got large sea🌊facing areas as well but now it becomes housing art🖼 and the venue for the famous Kochi-Muziris Biennale YEAH!! This is the right place to host events like this for sure, biennale is the space for artists with there installations and thoughts💭 and all anyway this space got a wonderful ambiance and atmosphere and peace☮️✌️

A Place BEYOND BeliefMy visiting to Aspin wall was an extraordinary experience. Muziris binalle the international exhibition of art brought me here.Aspin wall is one the main venue for the binalle exhibition. Describing the exterior it resembles a giant palace of British made. While walking inside Aspin an artistic aura feels inside you.Along side shore a small cafe at the end of the house serving hot coffees and teas. an awesome atmosphere to feel heavenly seeing boats and giant ships lying and moving on the beautiful shore.December to March is the best time to visit .The Entry Fee to here is 100.If you are satisfied with my review .let me know

The ticket price starts from 100 rs per person. There is a lot to see and explore in Aspinwall. Weekends are mostly prone to be crowded. There is no parking space, so if youre traveling by car youll have to park it on roadsides. You could witness a lot of creative stuff there. Do visit ✌️
