A few years ago, I supplied some of my old TV sets for an exhibit at San Francisco Airport. The airport has its own museum department, with "real" curators and so on. I had wondered if they were going to want to display any early sets turned on, but they didn't. If they had, though, my very specific plan would have been to:
1) Get a suitable flat-panel TV set (or monitor with an external tuner/signal source), that could be temporarily installed in the early TV set's cabinet.
2) Insist that a sign be part of the set's display, reading "This set has a modern display installed for exhibit purposes only. The original chassis and components have been preserved, and will be reinstalled after this exhibit closes. No modifications have been made to the original cabinet or components."
