Our understanding of the Milky Way and its constituents is undergoing a revolutionary change driven primarily by the Gaia space mission, and which is further reinforced when combined with spectroscopic surveys from the ground. In this colloquium, I will highlight a few of the results stemming from the analysis of the truly spectacular Gaia data releases. Specifically, I will discuss what we have learned about the assembly history of the Milky Way thus far. I will also present some intriguing findings regarding its dynamics and our current efforts to place the Milky Way in a proper cosmological context.
