==Remaining machines== Despite having been sold or leased in very large numbers for a [[mainframe computer|mainframe]] system of its era, only a few of System/360 computers remain—mainly as non-operating property of museums or collectors. Examples of existing systems include: * The [[Computer History Museum]] in [[Mountain View, California]], has a non-working [[IBM System/360 Model 30|Model 30]] on display, as do the [[Museum of Transport and Technology]] in [[Auckland]], New Zealand, and the [[Vienna University of Technology]] in Austria. * The [[University of Western Australia]] Computer Club has a complete [[IBM System/360 Model 40|Model 40]] in storage.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/ben.ucc|title=University Computer Club}}</ref> * The KCG Computer Museum of Kyoto Computer Gakuin, Japan's first computer school in town,{{Clarify|date=November 2022}} has an IBM System/360 Model 40 on display.<ref>[http://www.kcg.ac.jp/museum/computer/mainframe_computers/ibm.html Large and Midsized Computers at KCG Computer Museum] (in Japanese) and [http://www.kcg.ac.jp/museum/en/computer/index.html KCG Computer Museum]</ref> * Two Model 20 processors along with numerous peripherals (forming at least one complete system) located in Nürnberg, Germany were purchased on [[eBay]] in April/May 2019 for €3710 by two UK enthusiasts who, over the course of some months, moved the machine to [[Creslow Park]] in [[Buckinghamshire]], United Kingdom. The system was in a small, abandoned building left untouched for decades, and apparently had been used in that building since all peripherals were still fully wired and interconnected.<ref name="ibms360">{{cite web|url=https://ibms360.co.uk/?page_id=22|title=Project History|website=IBM 360 Model 20 Rescue & Restoration|access-date=2019-05-20|year=2019}}</ref> As of September 2024 the systems have been moved on a long-term loan basis to the [[System Source Computer Museum]] in [[Hunt Valley, Maryland]], USA for display and restoration.<ref>{{cite web|title=The 360's have a new home!|work=IBM 360 Model 20 Rescue & Restoration Blog|date=September 11, 2024|url=https://www.ibm360.co.uk/?p=916}}</ref> * The [[Living Computers: Museum + Labs]] has a 360 model 30.
