William Bullock was the brother of renowned furniture designer, maker and sculptor George Bullock. William Bullock went on to open a museum of curiosities in Birmingham in 1800. Then in 1801 he moved the museum to Liverpool and his brother George joined him there where his carrier began to flourish.
