Rita Singer<p>Sir LEONARD TWISTON DAVIES (d.1953), patron of the arts and of folk life studies, was born <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> 1894.<br>'His service and generosity to both the National Library and National Museum of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wales</span></a> were very remarkable. He was treasurer of the National Library of Wales and its vice-president when he died. He was president of the National Museum and the main instigator in establishing the department of Rural Life (1936) which led to the creation of the National Folk Museum (1947) (now Museum of Welsh Life) at <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/StFagans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StFagans</span></a>. He made very many gifts to the Library and the Museum; he also worked hard and successfully to raise the levels of salaries in both establishments.' -- Iorwerth Cyfeiliog Peate<br><a href="https://biography.wales/article/s2-DAVI-TWI-1894" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">biography.wales/article/s2-DAV</span><span class="invisible">I-TWI-1894</span></a><br><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Trefatdaeth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trefatdaeth</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heritage</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NationalLibraryOfWales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalLibraryOfWales</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MuseumWales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MuseumWales</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Bywgraffiadur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bywgraffiadur</span></a> <br>Darlun/Image:<br>Sir Leonard Twiston Davies<br>by Walter Stoneman<br>bromide print, February 1939<br>image size: 197 mm x 140 mm<br>Commissioned, 1939<br>Photographs Collection<br>NPG x167035<br>CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 Deed</p>
