   The Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) is a large market hall erected in the 13th century in the middle of the Market Square,  extended in the 14th century in the Gothic style and remodelled in the mid-16th century after Renaissance fashion.  Following its restoration in the years 1875-1879, it began to serve a representative function and became a venue for  grand balls and patriotic celebrations. Due to their location and character, the halls on the first floor of the Sukiennice  building became the first seat of the National Museum in Krakow.
