Abstract
AGN can be dust-hidden by two ways and this talk considers how to unveil them in the infrared: firstly, the powerful 3CR radio galaxies, i.e., type-2 AGN which suffer from anisotropic obscuration of the nuclear region by the dust torus, and secondly, type-1 quasars, which seem to be isotropically reddened by dust, so that they escape detection via optical-UV colour criteria.
