Third part in Phil Mercer-Kelly's look at how the world famous Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford is tackling its imperial roots. In this episode he hears how the traditional much loved labelling is getting an update.

One particular collection involves Britain's colonial involvement in the Opium Wars with China.
