Lloyd George: The Wizard, the Goat and the Man Who Won the War

28 September – 10 May 2014

 

Presenting the story of one of Britain’s most famous prime ministers.

 

Although his background was by no means privileged, David Lloyd George became Prime Minister of Britain from December 1916 at the height of the First World War.  He remains to date the one and only Welshman to have served in this position. In this exhibition, discover the compelling amalgam of political news dextrously intermingled with personal and family gossip within his diaries and correspondence.  There will also be a chance to see footage from the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales along with personal items from the Lloyd George Museum.

A collection of film clips showing the life and work of David Lloyd George can be seen here. The films come from the collections of The National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.
