ADC_Keywords: Magellanic Clouds; Clusters, globular; Photometry, infrared;
              Magnitudes; Colors
Keywords: stars: AGB and post-AGB - stars: evolution -
          Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram - globular clusters: general -

Description:
   We report JHK results of observations of 12 globular clusters in the
   Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and present colour-magnitude diagrams
   down to K=16 (corresponding to absolute K~-2.6) for ~450 stars in
   these clusters.
