The Hagia Sophia was converted into a museum on February 1, 1935. This transformation followed its designation as a mosque after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The decision to make it a museum was part of Turkey's secular reforms under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The museum status remained until it was reconverted into a mosque in July 2020.
