In Koror, there are two primary museums that preserve Palauan artifacts and cultural materials:
- Belau National Museum: Established in 1955, this institution houses a small but instructive collection of artifacts that reflect the cultural history of the islands.1
- Etpison Museum: Opened in 1999, this museum features a diverse collection that includes cultural artifacts, as well as historical photographs and maps.1
