Abstract
Planetary Nebulae (PNs) in the Magellanic Clouds are studied to understand stellar populations and evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars in different chemical environments. Using HST observations from our LMC and SMC PN morphological survey and from the HST Data Archive, we look at the relations between PN morphology and their evolution and populations. In this paper we show some of our recent results on these relations, in an historical context.
