Currently (Winter 2019) undergoing major rennovation so not all sections are open

A lot of it closed due to restoration, also very difficult to get back from as no taxis

What we could see was fantastic but as with many of Istanbul’s famous sights being extensively renovated

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Unfortunately, two thirds of this building is under renovation, so only a few mosaics may be viewed and none of the exterior.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The museum is in the middle of a major rennovation and more than half of it is inaccesable.
