Summary[edit]

Description
English: "In December 1931 [...] the mosaics of Hagia Sophia began to be uncovered under the auspices of the Byzantine Institute of America. The work went well, and three years later, on November 24, 1934, the Turkish Council of Ministers decreed that the Mosque of Aya Sofya should be secularized and turned into a museum, because of its historical significance... [as] a unique architectural monument of art."

Robert S. Nelson, "Hagia Sophia, 1850-1950: Holy Wisdom Modern Monument," University of Chicago Press, 2004, p. 155
