Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum

The Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum is a privately operated immersive museum in Istanbul that interprets the layered Byzantine and Ottoman history of the Hagia Sophia through digital storytelling and experiential exhibition design. It is run by DEM, a Turkish cultural experience company behind similar narrative museum formats at other heritage sites across Turkey. The museum positions itself as a complement to visiting the monument itself, offering a curated multimedia journey through the building's 1,500-year history. Open daily 09:00–19:00, admission fee required.
