  I briefly review the Higgs sector in the Standard Model. After summarizing
the properties of the Higgs boson, I will discuss the prospects for discovering
this particle at the present colliders LEP2 and Tevatron and at the next
generation colliders LHC and a high-energy $e^+e^-$ linear collider. The
possibilities of studying the properties of the Higgs particle will be then
summarized. [Contribution to the European Network Workshop "Tests of the
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking}, Ouranoupolis, Greece, May 1997.]
