Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is in full swing, taking players on a thrilling journey across the map to unravel the event's mystery. However, a seemingly simple task has become a stumbling block for many: studying a Historical Display. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to do it in *The Sims 4*.
Where to Find a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
One of the key quests in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event involves studying a Historical Display at a museum. If you're a seasoned *The Sims 4* player, you likely know the location of your local museum. For newcomers, open your map and look for a building marked with an icon featuring pillars. Among the four default museums, the best options are Municipal Muses in Willow Creek and The Future’s Past in Oasis Springs, as they are conveniently located near other tasks related to the event.

Once you've arrived at a museum, it's time to delve into the task at hand. Both paintings and sculptures count as Historical Displays in *The Sims 4*. Choose the one that piques your interest, click on it, and select the "View" option. You'll know you've successfully completed the challenge when you see the Emit icon appear.
Despite the simplicity of the task, many players have encountered issues, particularly those using mods. Some report that the "View" button doesn't function properly, hindering their progress. In response, players have tried removing all mods, but the problem persists. Hopefully, EA is aware of these issues and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying as many items as possible across different museums.
