The Tofino Art Gallery, is the largest art museum in Zamastan and one of the largest art museums in the International Democratic Union. It houses a collection of over 17,000 items. The museum was originally commissioned in 1929 by billionaire Frank Rabernath to house his art collection of over 200 pieces. After the Rabernath Murders, the museum was placed into the hands of the city of Tofino. Nowadays, it is operated by the Zamastan and International Art Society (Z.I.A.S), and contains art pieces from all over the IDU.
