JR converts Sleeping Car 3553 into L'Observatoire for the Venice Art Biennale 2024, featuring hidden compartments, secret messages, and eye-shaped portholes for viewers to observe between April 17-19 and April 20-22.
The revamped carriage includes a bedroom, library, and a secret tea room with a fireplace, offering guests a luxurious experience with rounded windows and an oculus skylight to view European landscapes as the train moves.
JR's history of using trains as artistic canvases reflects in L'Observatoire, previously showcasing works like 'Women Are Heroes' and 'Mind the Gap,' making the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express an ideal location.
