Hagia Sophia Upper Gallery Rumors That It Will Be A MuseumWill Hagia Sophia be a museum again?

There has been some change in Hagia Sophia recently.  After it became a mosque, the entrance door started to be used as the exit door of the Hagia Sophia during the museum period.  In the last week of March 2022, entrances to the Hagia Sophia were made again as in the museum period.  It will be possible to enter Hagia Sophia after passing the security check, as it was during the museum period.  These changes caused the minds to come to the fore again whether the upper gallery of Hagia Sophia, which has been talked about as a gossip in Sultanahmet Square for a while, will become a museum.  In the coming days, you can enter the upper floor of Hagia Sophia with a ticket.  And the upper floor, which has been closed to visitors for a long time, can thus be visited.
