    My wife and I are widely traveled, and have visited many museums, but this was our first encounter with an immersive CGI driven , dramatic presentation of any sort... We were bowled over with the presentation of the dramatic history of Agia Sofia, and were made acquainted with so much new and detailed information, which we were not aware of, in our 3 previous visits over the last decade or so.. It really brought history to life, and for us was a brilliant experience... Highly recommended, as was its small antiquities museum.... So glad we did this in our 10 days in Istanbul

    This isn't a museum. It's a collection of badly done videos with special effects that play in one room after the next, extremely loudly (you can barely hear what they're saying in your own headset because of the corresponding museum blaring in each room), and in the dark, with the staff moving you through and making you stand in certain spots with a wave of their arms (else you might stand in front of the projected video feed and be blinded (The staff, however, are dressed very well). Save yourself a lot of money and watch a documentary. You'll learn a lot more. It cost almost as much as the Hagia Sofia itself, probably to pay for the obviously overly grand buidling that holds nothing (really, nothing!) There are a few artifacts here, but not enough to make the visit worth it or eve really to fill a whole room. Oh, and a cat snuck into the third floor in the antiseptic space with the video roaring at us. The cat was by far the best part.

    An excellent and immersive museum! The videos are excellent! Make sure you add this on with your main ticket. The museum exceeded all our expectations to what we thought it would be like.

    This was a let down after paying 25 euros. It's mainly a cinematic experience with over the top boom boom sound effects, you get shepherded in an assembled group from room to room. Then let loose at the end to see some various objects. I left feeling quite annoyed with the visit. Okay at 10 - 15 euros but what is on offer is price gouging.

    This is not a museum. It is one of those digital vidso 'experiences' projected onto a wall, with loud dramatic music and narrative. And for this, you will pay 900 lira. It is evidently privately owned, not included in the Istanbul Museum Pass. Avoid this rip-off. Much better just to see the real Hağıa Sophia a few hundred feet away!!
