The Cloth Hall (Sukiennice): Russian art or European art? The Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) Review

I am not sure if it is Russian or European as this is my first time even near the Eastern European countries.

But I love these pieces of art.

What to buy: I found these wooden statues in the world's loooongest gift shop that is in Krakow's Cloth Hall.

I am not sure whether they
are Russian or just Eastern European. In Russia there are such large wooden,
painted figueres of women opened with a smaller and smaller one inside.
