Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is in full swing, with players scouring the map to unravel the event's mystery. However, a seemingly simple task is proving to be a stumbling block for many. Here’s a detailed guide on how to study a Historical Display in *The Sims 4*.

Where To Find a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

One of the quests during Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event requires you to study a Historical Display at a museum. If you're a seasoned *The Sims 4* player, you likely already know the location of your local museum. For newcomers, simply open your map and look for a building marked with an icon featuring pillars. There are four default museums, but the most convenient ones to visit for this event are Municipal Muses in Willow Creek and The Future’s Past in Oasis Springs, as they are close to other event-related tasks.

How To Study a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

Upon arriving at a museum, head inside to start your quest. In *The Sims 4*, both paintings and sculptures qualify as Historical Displays. Choose the one that catches your eye, click on it, and select the "View" option. You'll know you've completed the task when the Emit icon appears, confirming your progress in the event.

Despite the simplicity of the quest, some players are encountering issues, primarily due to mods interfering with the "View" button functionality. Some have even tried removing all mods to progress through the event, yet the problem persists. Hopefully, EA is aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying as many items as possible across different museums.
