Today Jan Taminau donated one of his couture creations from the iconic Check, Checkmate collection (2009) to the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. Check, Check Mate! is a symbol of Jan Taminiau's early, more experimental work and is one of his best-known designs from this period. In addition, the museum bought a cocktail dress and sketch design on an embroidery frame from the Robotic Nature collection from 2016.
