In eukaryotic cells chromosomes are found within the nucleus. The only exception to this is during mitosis (i.e. cell division) when the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and then move towards opposite direction in anaphase. Reaching the telophase these are again surrounded by the nuclear envelop.
