The Republic of Palau is a small island country in the Pacific Ocean, with a population of about 17,000. It is made up of roughly 400 islands near the equator and surrounded by crystal-clear waters. This exhibition explores the culture of Palau, along with its pioneering efforts toward a sustainable future. Held in Hyogo Prefecture — a long-time partner of Palau — it carries on some of the photo panels from the Palau Booth at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai. Please come take a look! |
