A competently and efficiently organized installation with excellent visual. Audio guide with a good translation into Russian. I would like to note the presentation of information: briefly, on the main events and dates, it is not delayed and gives a general idea. Movement through the halls of the museum takes place as part of a small group of people, a dozen or one and a half, there is no crowd.
The technical support is at an excellent level, relative to other museums in Istanbul.
Loud music in the background may confuse you, you should be careful when visiting with young children. But the volume is not higher than in any cinema.

They offer to buy a ticket at the ticket office in Sofia.
It gives you the opportunity to go to it (Sofia) for 3 days when buying, and not day in and day out.
There are practically no queues in the evening, it's convenient.
But I didn't like the museum itself.
20 minutes of presentation in history.
Every 5 minutes, for some reason, you need to move from the hall to the hall, your legs get tired after all the excursions. It would be more logical to make 1 hall and benches.
The presentation itself is not very interesting and provides little knowledge.
The sound in the halls is too loud and may even interrupt the sound in the audio guide.
The queue at the entrance is small, but it's still a very long time to wait. Since they let in a group. The group walks together in an organized way.
We lost money, time and energy. The museum is not worth attention.

Why do you visit the mosque first and then the museum? Was the child in charge of this, or just an indifferent person? Or maybe ticket sales are closer to the mosque? How can you show a mosque, and only then explain what this ancient structure has survived? And you will have already completed the museum, the players with interference, you could have given out glasses and made three-dimensional presentations, not 100 lira entrance, as it were. Everything seems interesting, but not finalized.

It was a real surprise at the end of the vacation - the Hagia Sophia History Museum on Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul. I strongly recommend visiting before you go to the temple of all religions itself – the Hagia Sophia Mosque.
The exposition on the two upper floors turned out to be unexpected for me. Prepared for visitors using the most famous technologies in the field of special effects. In 3D format, you will be shown the history of the creation and destruction of the famous temple. A free audio guide with an excellent audio version is included. There is one in Russian too. I went to the museum absolutely without interest, for the company of my wife. During the visit, I was pleasantly surprised, and that's putting it mildly: A supermuseum, high–tech gadgets - at every step. At the entrance, the guide forms a small group, invites you inside a high–tech elevator - and forward into fiction.

if you go here, it's really better to get to the mosque, so that you can then consider the details that were discussed in the museum
first, a presentation with brief excursions into the history of construction and restoration
then there are several rooms with Muslim and Christian relics
There are even relics, but it is unclear whose
the first part with very loud music and fast-changing painted pictures is not very pleasant

I recommend visiting this museum BEFORE visiting Hagia Sophia. After that, the cathedral itself will sparkle with new colors

They offer it along with a ticket to Sofia itself. In my opinion, it's better to go here first. An audio guide is given at the entrance and a specially trained person leads from room to room, where they show animation on the story to epic music. You can take pictures, you can't take pictures, but we were so stunned by the music and visual that it was not up to the photo)

We bought tickets to Aya Sofia (2nd floor), and they included this museum. He complemented the impressions and showed the power of Byzantium at that time. Another interesting tank of the former Racetrack is Nakkash.

A great museum. I advise you to visit before visiting the museum. The price tag is not small. For May 2024, the ticket cost 25 euros.

Boring and expensive (like most in Istanbul) museum. The ticket is sold together with the ticket to the Church of St. Sofia.
It's not worth the money — ten rooms with screens showing neutral animations of Sofia and her brief history.
