Display, yes : Deutsche Museum in Munich has a 360/20 (does that count?)

Emulators : search Google for Hercules Emulator. You can also get the
source to OS/360 complete with instructions
on how to build it. Several other OS are available in binary only form.

We recently found a private collector here in France with a truly
marvelous collection of old iron including
a couple of 360's. We plan on restoring his 360/40 sometime in the next
12 months and it should be on display
(before, during and after restoration) in Paris sometime soon.

More details when I can release then ;-)
