If you're a seasoned *The Sims 4* player, you likely know where to find your local museum. New players should open their map and look for a building marked with an icon featuring pillars.

Once you arrive at a museum, it's time to delve into your studies. In *The Sims 4*, both paintings and sculptures count as Historical Displays. Choose the one that piques your interest and click on it. You'll be prompted to "View" the Historical Display, and the Emit icon will confirm that you've successfully completed the challenge.

Despite the straightforward nature of the quest, numerous players are encountering issues. It appears that mods are interfering with the functionality of the "View" button, preventing players from studying Historical Displays. Some have even tried removing all mods to progress through the event, but without success. Hopefully, EA is working on a fix. In the meantime, your best bet is to try studying as many items as you can across different museums.
