Belau National Museum
This nifty little museum features exhibits from all eras of Palauan life, including artworks, photography, sculpture, storyboards and more. As you move between floors it is fascinating, and more than a little eye opening, to trace the history of colonial occupation on the island.
The museum grounds contain a striking wood-and-thatch bai (communal meeting centre), carved and painted with depictions of Palauan legends. Although a recreation of an older bai that burned down in 1979, it's built in the traditional manner, constructed of rough planks with notched jointing and set above the ground on stone stacks.

Mother & Child Stone
The village of Ngermid is home to the Mother & Child Stone, apparently the Lot-like remains of a mum and kid who were turned to stone after the mother took a forbidden peek inside the village men's house.
The defunct Hotel Nikko Palau used to be in operation around here; some say it closed down after guests began to see the ghosts of Japanese soldiers killed in WWII.

Palau Aquarium
This intriguing aquarium is part of the Pacific International Coral Reef Centre, a Japanese-funded research complex. The aquarium aims to educate about Palau's coral reef ecosystem and features 17 themed sections, each recreating a different habitat.
