The Kochi Muziris Biennale  is a biennial international contemporary art exhibition that runs for four months at the island of Fort Kochi in Kerala. Get immersed in modern art forms from Indian and International artists portrayed through various mediums like contemporary art paintings, sculptures, installations and more.

Fort Kochi is a peaceful seaside town in the south-western part of Kochi known for its old-world colonial charm. The place still holds every single cultural change it went through over the centuries. Although we see remnants of British rule all over the country, tourists flock here all year round to get the essence of the Portuguese and Dutch colonialism that affected this part of India. Enhance the Kochi Biennale experience by staying at a hostel or a homestay. It gives you room to meet like-minded aficionados and explore different minds from different walks of life. Make a friend or two, who wouldn't want that.

After or before visiting the Kochi Biennale, you can visit other attractions in Fort Kochi, hit two birds with one stone when it comes to getting a full money's worth with your trip. Here are a few things you can do while you're here - 

Fort Kochi Beach, Chinese Fishing net, Church, Café, Jew Street, a walk through the roads, antique shops, Portugal churches, Dutch cemetery etc all which marks importance in the pages of history. The highlight of the antique market is the masks which are available in all sizes, shapes and bright colours. The cow-face masks and Kathakali masks are really unique and a ‘must-have’. Apart from these, murals, antique furniture, ancient wooden storage boxes, idols and other handicrafts are worth buying. 

The area is one of the most popular tourist hot spots in Kochi and has a distinct European feel which seems to have been preserved over the years and seamlessly integrated into the Greater Cochin region of which it is a part. The Chinese fishing nets, Jew synagogue, Jew town, Dutch cemetery and Dutch palaces are some of the key places of interest where the culture of the yesteryears is all pervading. Apart from being a travel enthusiasts’ delight, the area is a haven for shoppers. You are spoilt for choices given the variety of curios, collectibles, antiques, masks, spices, souvenirs and other knick-knacks that are available for shopping in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry.

I had a really nice time time enjoying a whole day through the streets of Fort Kochi and Mattancheri which made my day thrilling while I walked through the streets munching peanuts and a hat on my head. The lunch we had from a nearby restaurant was indeed splendid and freshly made. even though it was a bit expensive, the taste was splendid.

If anyone hasn't visited Kerala yet, I would recommend that you must visit kochi first. Even though you didn't put it first in your wish list, never miss the chance to visit there.
