We have constructed models of relatively high-density radiation-bounded filaments near the nucleus of a Seyfert 2 galaxy. The amount of molecular hydrogen predicted by the models for reasonable values of the physical parameters is consistent with observations of the infrared continuum and the quadrupole rotation-vibration lines of H2 in NGC 1068.
