The complex represented three-storey galleries with through middle passage under glass roof. In addition to shops, there were banks, hotels, coffee shops, billiards, panpots, anatomical museum, wax museum, as well as various workshops.

Modern Passage is an architectural monument and modern shopping center with centuries-old traditions. All that has been created in the Passage for one and a half century, is a work of several generations. Honouring traditions, we are open for the future and new ideas.
