This study explores the impact of museum digitization on silk cultural heritage. This study compares a high-digitization experimental group with a low-digitization control group and evaluates their outcomes across six dimensions, including relic preservation, audience experience, and cultural dissemination. Results show that digital technology significantly enhances silk heritage conservation and transmission. 3D scanning and intelligent environmental monitoring systems boost the relic preservation rate of museums in the experimental group, the use of VR and interactive projections elevates visitor satisfaction, and multi-platform digital dissemination expands cultural reach. Digital technology also optimizes cost efficiency through diversified revenue models and facilitates academic research and skill inheritance via open databases and virtual workshops. This research confirms that museum digitization effectively promotes the sustainability of silk cultural heritage, thereby offering innovative strategies and practical guidance for cultural heritage conservation and inheritance.
