Abstract:
This paper will report on the status of VHE gamma-ray astronomy at the start of the new millennium. The decade of the 90's saw rapid development of the field and many new detectors and proposed facilities are discussed. The growth of the field in the new millennium will continue and the catalogue of TeV sources will increased by at least an order of magnitude. While many advances are expected some "thorny" problems, which have been around for quite a while, may still prove to be a challenge in the future.
