Abstract
One of the primary motivations for building the VLTI was to observe the inner, dusty regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Although the VLTI is limited to relatively bright objects, there are a dozen or so Seyfert galaxies, and at least one quasar, that are bright enough to see. These are the only extragalactic targets so far observed with optical/infrared interferometers.
