This bank holiday weekend, we're taking a step back from the news to bring you an update on a story we covered earlier in the year.One of Britain's most important paintings of a non-white subject has now been saved for the nation following a public campaign to raise £50 million to buy it from its private owner. This is the story of the Portrait of Omai. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
