We present multi-wavelength imaging observations of three nearby and famous
active galaxies obtained with NICMOS, ISOCAM and the MPE near-IR integral field
spectrometer. The data reveal a variety of features and properties that are
missed in optical studies and in traditional IR monodimensional spectroscopy.Comment: 6 pages, to appear in "Imaging the Universe in Three Dimensions:
