The Optical Monitor telescope (Mason et al. 2001) on XMM-Newton provides an exciting multi-wavelength dimension to observations of Active Galactic Nuclei. Here we present ultraviolet images, taken with the OM UVW2 filter (140-270 nm), of various Seyfert galaxies, some of which have never been observed in this waveband before. The images show UV emission from both the active nucleus and the host galaxy. The distribution of UV emission in the galaxy shows where star formation is occurring, thus giving us clues as to the evolution of the host galaxy and perhaps its relationship to the Seyfert Nucleus.
