The Cloth Hall on Kraków's Main Square was renovated to a design by Tomasz Pryliński, and the article does not name the original architect or client. Mayor Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz supervised the renovation. The infobox lists completion in 1358, 1559 and 1879, but the text gives no dates for the original build and does not explain the first two. It mentions a restoration proposed in 1870 and the Gallery's opening on October 7, 1879.

The article calls the style Renaissance. It gives no materials or dimensions.

Restoration came under Austrian rule. UNESCO listed the site in 1978, it was designated a Historic Monument in 1994, and the museum was upgraded in 2010. Balls were held after Józef Poniatowski's 1809 liberation of the city. It is a commercial center and venue for dignitaries, and the upper floor houses the Sukiennice Museum of 19th-century Polish art. The article gives no hours.
