Gaia DR2 catalog provides a unique possibility to study the three-dimensional structure and the three-dimensional velocity field of the nearby open clusters. We can either select stars with a maximum membership probability and the most accurate values for the proper motions, parallaxes, and the radial velocities, or study these clusters statistically using overwhelmingly large areas of sky of tens by tens degrees. The second approach allows us to reveal the extensive outer parts of the clusters - a corona and the tidal tails and to study the luminosity and mass functions of these clusters. We present the first results of the investigation of several nearby open clusters, including Pleiades, Alpha Persei, Ruprecht 147.
