The first exhibition of the figures outside of China was held at National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in Melbourne in 1982.

A collection of 120 objects from the mausoleum and 12 terracotta warriors were displayed at the British Museum in London as its special exhibition "The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army" from 13 September 2007 to April 2008.
This exhibition made 2008 the British Museum's most successful year and made the British Museum the United Kingdom's top cultural attraction between 2007 and 2008.
The exhibition brought the most visitors to the museum since the King Tutankhamun exhibition in 1972.
It was reported that the 400,000 advance tickets sold out so fast that the museum extended its opening hours until midnight.
According to The Times, many people had to be turned away, despite the extended hours.
 During the day of events to mark the Chinese New Year, the crush was so intense that the gates to the museum had to be shut.
The Terracotta Army has been described as the only other set of historic artifacts (along with the remnants of wreck of the RMS Titanic) that can draw a crowd by the name alone.

Warriors and other artifacts were exhibited to the public at the Forum de Barcelona in Barcelona between 9 May and 26 September 2004.
