Bullock owned the Museum of Natural Curiosities in Liverpool which, after 1812, was re-housed at the 'Egyptian Hall' in London's Piccadilly. Bullock was a curator as well as a dealer in rare objets d'art. In 1822, he travelled to Mexico where he bought a silver mine and collected pre-Colombian artefacts which are now held at the British Museum. Bullock's last great dream, however, was to create an idealistic community called 'Hygeia' in the United States. 'Hygeia' was to be an Egyptian style city, much in the manner of Aswan or Luxor but designed to grace the banks of the Ohio River, rather than the Nile. Unfortunately, however, the dream was never realised; the city was never built and Bullock later died in relative poverty.
