Abstract: The large-scale ijk_s simultaneous DENIS coverage of the Magellanic Clouds has allowed us to distinguish populations of objects of different kind and age, to derive the structural parameters of the galaxies and to obtain an indication of the metallicity distribution. This photometry combined with the results from long-term monitoring programs provides important constraints on the evolution of stars. Although we have extracted a great deal of information from the dataset, the data mining benefits have yet to be exhausted.
