Antique Train

starting at €90.00

The old locomotive and its carriages were taken out of active service over half a century ago. It now rests in the thin air of the Bolivian highlands, at an altitude of 3,700 meters. Without guards or even a fence, everything that could be stolen or broken was taken long ago. What remains of the old locomotive's glory days now seems to be enjoying its nap in the exhausting heat of the late afternoon.

RAUTAA & ROJUA – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to this movement, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
