DESCRIPTION:The interaction of dwarf galaxies and the accretion of dwarf g
 alaxies onto\nmassive galaxies are two common processes in the formation a
 nd evolution of\ngalaxies. These phenomena can be studied in detail in our
  neighbourhood. The\nLarge and Small Magellanic Clouds interact with each 
 other and are on a path\nof tidal disruption under the influence of the Mi
 lky Way. In this\ncolloquium\, I will present the current view of the Mage
 llanic system and I\nwill highlight some of the measurements that characte
 rise the history and\nstructure of the galaxies\, as well as their kinemat
 ics from the observations\nof resolved stellar populations. In particular\
 , I will focus on results\nobtained from the VISTA  near-infrared survey 
 of the Magellanic Clouds\nsystem and from other contemporary surveys at di
 fferent wavelengths.\n
