If you're a seasoned *The Sims 4* player, you're likely familiar with the locations of these cultural landmarks.

Upon arriving at a museum, it's time to dive into the experience. Both paintings and sculptures qualify as Historical Displays in *The Sims 4*. Choose the one that piques your interest, click on it, and select the "View" option. The appearance of the Emit icon will confirm that you've successfully completed the challenge.

Despite the apparent simplicity of this task, numerous players are encountering difficulties. It appears that certain mods are interfering with the functionality of the View button, preventing players from studying the displays. Some have resorted to removing all mods in an attempt to progress, though not always with success. It's hoped that EA is addressing this issue swiftly. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying as many items as possible across multiple museums.
