Christiane Éluère is chief curator of the Center for Research and Restoration of Museums of France.[2] At the National Archaeological Museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, she shares responsibility for the protohistoric collections. In 1987, she helped to organise the exhibition Trésors des princes celtes ('Treasures of the Celtic Princes').[3]
