AB - Symbolic consumption means purchasing expensive or inimitable goods and brand for which certain knowledge is required. This kind of consumption is pursued because the individuals have their needs not only the one which makes them distinguish from others but one which enables them to be recognized as a special class. Therefore, symbolic consumption itself has a symbolic value. This research is to discuss how significant the symbolic value of the cultural space such as nation’s cultural facilities is through the results of no entrance fees for one year. It is expected to obtain clearer findings which author desired to have in this paper if more statistic data on the number of visitors in a long term and the characteristics of the visitors by facilities are used for the future study after free admission policy.
