The Whispers of the Wind update in Disney Dreamlight Valley brought something players had wanted for a long time: a proper place to display all those unique resources they'd been hoarding. The Grand Exhibition building is that place, and the quest tied to it walks you through every step of setting it up. If you've just loaded in and have no idea where to start, this walkthrough covers everything from placing the building to claiming the final outfit reward.
How do you start Olaf's Grand Exhibition quest?
The quest kicks off with Olaf, who is the driving force behind the whole museum idea. Track him down in your valley and talk to him about his plans. According to the quest setup documented by Destructoid, Scrooge McDuck has already agreed to cover all construction costs, so your only job at this stage is finding a good spot for the building.
After the conversation, open your inventory, select the Furniture tab, and find Olaf's quest icon. Drop the Grand Exhibition building anywhere you want in the valley. The placement is flexible, so don't stress about getting it perfect right away since you can reposition it at any time.
Once it's placed, head inside and walk to the desk in the center of the room to speak with Olaf again. He'll introduce you to how the building works and then lead you to the Peaceful Meadow door. Step through, talk to him one more time, and he'll assign three separate tasks:
- Complete the Peaceful Meadow Aquarium
- Complete the Peaceful Meadow Diorama
- Complete the Peaceful Meadow Habitat

If you've been playing for a while, check your storage chests before heading out to gather. You likely already have several of the required gems, fish, and flowers sitting in boxes.
How to complete the Peaceful Meadow Aquarium
The Aquarium section is the most straightforward of the three. Start by collecting five specific Gems, all of which drop from rock spots in the Peaceful Meadow biome:
- Garnet
- Shiny Garnet
- Peridot
- Shiny Peridot
- Onyx
Bring these to the first podium in the Peaceful Meadow room and interact with the sparkling spot to deposit them. That reveals a sparkling scroll beneath the aquarium display. Interact with the scroll to add the required Peaceful Meadow fish:
- Bass
- Bream
- Rainbow Trout
- Catfish
Once all the fish are placed, a red chest spawns in front of the Gem podium. Open it to receive a smaller Peaceful Meadow Aquarium item you can use as home decor.

How to complete the Peaceful Meadow Diorama
The Diorama is the most resource-intensive section of the quest. It starts simply enough: forage or pull from storage to collect five flowers native to the Peaceful Meadow:
- Purple Rising Penstemon
- Green Rising Penstemon
- Yellow Daisy
- Red Daisy
- White Daisy
Place all five flowers on the podium in the center of the room, then talk to Olaf to unlock the next stage. You'll need to repair four separate Diorama panels, each with its own material list. Here's the full breakdown:
warning
The Diorama panels demand a large amount of Softwood across all four. The first and fourth panels alone require 118 combined. Stock up before you start repairing or this section will drag on much longer than expected.Finish all four panels and a red chest appears near the flower podium. The reward is your own set of all four panels, which can be placed as decorations anywhere in the valley.
How to complete the Peaceful Meadow Habitat
The Habitat wraps up the Peaceful Meadow room. Begin by gathering six food items from the biome and placing them on the podium near the right end of the room:
- Apple
- Carrot
- Raspberry
- Wheat
- Lettuce
- Basil
Interact with the scroll in front of the exhibit after placing the ingredients. The next step asks you to place all five Rabbit critters from the Peaceful Meadow biome:
- Black Rabbit
- Classic Rabbit
- Brown Rabbit
- White Rabbit
- Calico Rabbit
To add a Rabbit to the exhibit, you need to have befriended it first, making it your Companion. Once all five are placed, a red chest spawns nearby with the full-size Rabbit habitat as a reward, which can be placed anywhere in your valley.
danger
You must befriend each Rabbit individually before you can place it in the Habitat exhibit. If you're missing one or two, head back to the Peaceful Meadow and track them down before returning.
What do you get for completing Olaf's Grand Exhibition?
Finishing all three sections of the Peaceful Meadow room triggers one final red chest in the center of the room. This chest contains a new outfit for your character, which is the main reward for completing the full quest. After claiming it, speak with Olaf one last time to officially close out the quest.
Beyond the outfit, you walk away with several placeable items: the smaller Peaceful Meadow Aquarium piece, all four Diorama panels, and the large Rabbit habitat. That's a solid haul of decorations for anyone who likes customizing their valley layout.
