I just got back from the traveling Pompeii exhibit in Boston.
There was a great deal of kitchen stuff there, including a garum jug (with marketing copy on it!) and some of the remains of the sauce itself. Pardon the quality of the pictures - the room was dark, and understandably flash was not allowed.
a sample of the stuff itself:
