The healthy lungs in the exhibit are pink and fully inflatable, while the unhealthy (smoker's) lungs are blackened and have a simulated tumor preventing full inflation.

Included in the exhibit:

Hand pump
Set of healthy swine lungs
Set of simulated smoker's lungs
Educational materials and fact sheets

A deposit of $25 is required. This deposit will be returned to you upon return of the lung kit, provided that it is returned in good condition with all of its original contents. Call in advance to reserve your exhibit. The lungs can be kept for a maximum of four days unless prior arrangements have been made. The lungs must be picked up and returned during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you anticipate that you will return the lungs late, please call to request a late return.
