N2 - Within the central few hundred parsecs of the Galaxy we find a magnetic field with a rich and complex filamentary structure. In some ways this structure is reminiscent of what we see in the Solar magnetosphere, but the size scale is a million times larger. Advances in the technology for far-infrared/ submillimeter polarimetry are enabling us to acquire new data on interstellar magnetic fields in the Galactic center. We will review recent results in this area and attempt a synthesis with information obtained from non-thermal radio filament morphology, radio Faraday rotation, and Zeeman splitting.
