Digital transformation has become a strategic priority for Indonesian cultural institutions responding to technological change, evolving audience expectations, and sustainability demands, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a Systematic Literature Review of publications from 2020 to 2025, this study synthesizes knowledge on how digital transformation contributes to the organizational sustainability of museums, galleries, archives, libraries, and performing arts organizations in Indonesia. Findings indicate that digital transformation functions as a multidimensional organizational capability extending beyond mere technological adoption. Digital infrastructure expands cultural access through online exhibitions, virtual collections, and hybrid programming, while sustainability is strengthened through adaptive leadership, collaborative governance, and professional digital competencies. Standardized metadata and digital preservation strategies are essential for protecting cultural heritage, and audience development increasingly depends on mobile-first communication and participatory digital engagement. Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain, including unequal digital infrastructure, limited professional capacity, governance fragmentation, and inadequate interoperability across institutions. The study concludes that sustainable digital transformation requires coordinated integration of infrastructure, governance, organizational capacity, audience development, preservation, and financial resilience, rather than isolated technological initiatives. The proposed conceptual framework offers practical guidance for policymakers and cultural managers, while calling for future empirical research on digital maturity across diverse Indonesian cultural institutions.
