I was there for just over two hours. It was not crowded at all, but the manuscripts and articles from various ruling dynasties were fascinating to my wife and I.We relaxed and got drinks from the cafe at the second floor central courtyard opposite Sultan Ahmad Mosque.

Jason is right as of Sept 2015. You can buy the museum pass at various slot machines around Sultanahmet Square, including just by the gates of this museum. Nb Istanbul and Turkish public sector museums seem to have a policy of stocking very good quality souvenirs and books in their shops, sometimes exclusive to the museums. Worth a look.
I have some question, what time does the museum open and close at? And, does it open in July 17?
