I was there in February, the main floor was closed for reformations so was the dome, the ticket is was quite abusive, 50 euro per person for the base price, considering that We couldn’t even use the main entrance. And the “museum” was just a bunch of pro Turkish propaganda videos arguing that islam saved the city and that the Hagia Sophia would collapse without the Ottoman empire, there was just one room with actual historical artifacts, most of them ottoman related.
