The quarantine enforced due to COVID-19 has limited public consumption and by doing so reduced possibilities to participate in culture. A lot of activities have been transferred to digital platforms. Certain content has become more available because it was no longer tied to locations where people live and it was free. Despite that, differences between participants of this research can be found in cultural consumption patterns during quarantine that can be connected to consumption before quarantine. Patters of cultural consumption before and during quarantine were determined with this quantitative research. The sample consisted of 350 Croatian residents. Factor analysis was used to determine the structure of cultural consumption before and during quarantine and to test all the hypotheses. Results show that there are statistically significant differences based on age and objectified capital in consumption before and during quarantine and what stands out is that young-adult participants are prone to traditional-popular culture and the oldest age group is prone to cultural-informative content. These differences are consistent with previous research on youth and leisure. Results show that there is a statistically significant difference based on community size in cultural consumption before quarantine and according to that, communities with up to 10.000 residents are more prone to traditional-popular culture than communities with more than 100.000 residents which is in accordance with research on differences between urban and rural surroundings. The difference in consumption during quarantine according to community size was not tested. Results show that there are statistically significant correlations between cultural consumption before and during quarantine and the result that stands out is that the variable cultural-informative content has the most statistically significant correlations.
