We present a study of the star cluster associated with the massive Galactic HII region NGC 3603 based on near-IR broad- and narrowband observations taken with ISAAC/VLT under excellent seeing conditions (≤ 0.4″). We discuss color-color diagrams and address the impact of the high UV flux on the disk evolution of the low-mass stars.
