LIMA, Peru - A traveling exhibition of human cadavers wants a stolen lung back.
The left lung was taken in Peru from "Bodies: The Exhibition," which has traveled the globe displaying cadavers preserved through a process that replaces water in biological tissues with polymers.
- The organ disappeared from an area where visitors can touch preserved cadavers. "In the whole world this has never happened," said Susan Hoefken, manager of Lima-based Impacto, the company presenting the exhibition.
- A $2,000 reward - no questions asked - was offered Tuesday for the return of the lung. It has no commercial value but will be costly to replace, Hoefken said.
- She described the embarrassment of reporting the Monday theft to the show's owner, Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions.
- "They told us to recover the lung somehow," Hoefken said.
- The exhibition travels next to Colombia.
