Recent observations and models of solar prominences are reviewed. The observations suggest that prominences are located in or below magnetic flux ropes that lie horizontally above the PIL. However, the details of the magnetic structure are not yet fully understood. Gravity likely plays an important role in shaping the vertical structures observed in quiescent prominences. Preliminary results from a time-dependent model describing the interaction of a magnetic flux rope with photospheric magnetic elements are presented.
