Performing, cultural and recreational activities have significant importance for the population, since more and more cities of the world improve urban image, attract tourists and investors, and stimulate development by promoting cultural organizations. This paper is a research on cultural consumption in Romania, resulting in the attendance of cultural products by the Romanian public and its preferences. Also, as a result of the information gathered from the survey, the authors propose perspectives for the development of the cultural services sector in Romania. Thus, the main purpose of the paper is to investigate the perception of the public regarding the level of development of cultural services in Romania and, as a secondary goal, to find ways to improve the solutions of the problems that the Romanian cultural system is currently facing.
