Aspects of the infrared emission from galaxies obtained from ground-based observations are described. There are clear differences between the dust in galaxies with active nuclei and those dominated by nuclear HII regions. In particular the family of unidentified emission bands between 3 and 13 μm dominate the spectra in the latter objects, but are rarely evident in spectra of active nuclei. However results from spatial, spectral and polarization measurements show that many of the dust properties in galaxies are broadly similar to those in the Milky Way.
