Casa Tornini Museo - Centro Cultural, Cultural museum in Caldera, Chile.

Casa Tornini Museum occupies a 500-square-meter residence with 12 exhibition rooms displaying regional artifacts and historical collections.

The building, constructed around 1875 using American oak and Oregon pine, served as the residence of Thomas Smith, manager of the Caldera railway administration.

The museum presents exhibitions about the port of Caldera, the Constitutional Revolution of 1859, and the Italian immigration during the late 19th century.

Located at Paseo José Fc. Gana 210 in Caldera, the museum opens daily from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:30 to 19:00.

The property functioned as the Italian Vice-Consulate before the Tornini family converted it into the first private cultural center in the Atacama region.
