Observations give strong support for the unification scheme of active
galactic nuclei. The scheme is premised on toroidal obscuration of the central
engine by dusty clouds that are individually very optically thick. These
lectures summarize the torus properties, describe the handling and implications
of its clumpy nature and present speculations about its dynamic origin.
