The inside of the museum. This was the central courtyard of the house.
A rather big amphora that was used for garum, a kind of fermented fish sauce (think Vietnamese fish sauce, but thicker?) that was a ubiquitous condiment in ancient Rome and a pretty big commodity. This thing was three or four feet high - that's a lot of fish stink!




A knife found in the kitchen area. There was a spoon, too, which was Magdalena's favorite
as the only object she could both recognize and say.
Below are some balls of pigment that were used in the house's decorations. It's pretty rare to find something like that, apparently.
