The 30 Doradus region of the LMC is a Rosetta Stone for the interpretation of similar, more distant regions, since it is accessible to spatially resolved investigation of its components with modern instrumentation. Following an introductory review of the various scales and populations relevant to the region, several current programs which promise improved understanding will be reviewed. They include extensive new optical spectroscopy and photometry of the central cluster, which will provide substantial new information about the stellar content and initial mass function (IMF); infrared surveys which will clarify questions about continuing star formation and the lower main sequence; and high-resolution nebular spectroscopy and X-ray observations which will reveal the high-energy phenomena in the surrounding interstellar medium.
