In the last few years our knowledge of the strengths and directions of magnetic fields in molecular clouds has increased significantly. This paper briefly reviews observations of magnetic field strength and direction, compares such observations with equipartition models, and discusses the implications of these comparisons for the typical internal structure of the field in a molecular cloud.
