Following the early discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2012, we are still only just starting to explore the scalar sector of the Standard Model. The LHC has been off for two of the last four years for the repairs needed to achieve close to the full collision energy. During the barnstorming physics run in 2016, the LHC achieved its design luminosity, and the physics programme is now properly underway. In addition to a deeper elaboration of the Higgs sector, a huge range of measurements, and searches for new physics, are in progress, and will continue for two more decades as the data sample increases a couple more (decimal) orders of magnitude. This lecture will review the current status of the LHC and ATLAS, and look at some challenges on the road ahead.
