The image of the Cloth Hall during the German occupation was placed on 50-zloty banknotes issued by the Issuing Bank in Poland. Nowadays, Sukiennice has two rows of stalls, mainly with jewelry, souvenirs, handicrafts and art. Currently, on the first floor of the Cloth Hall (in the former szmatruzą) is the Gallery of Polish Painting and Sculpture of the 19th Century. It is a branch of the National Museum. On the ground floor of the Cloth Hall there is also the famous Noworolski cafe. Under the outer part of the cloth hall, as a curiosity, you can see preserved and functional gas lighting. In 2010, a branch of the Historical Museum of the City of Krakow was opened under the Main Market Square, the entrance to which is located in the Sukiennice. Visitors wander underground around the Cloth Hall with glass ramps and footbridges, suspended over old routes, including the cobblestones of medieval Cloth Hall.
