Abstract
I present first results of an infrared photometric study of the young starburst cluster NGC 3603. The infrared color-magnitude and color-color diagrams reveal a predominantly early-type stellar population and about 20 stars with significant IR excess which could be Herbig Ae/Be stars. These stars are distributed randomly in the cluster.
