You mean Body Worlds. And they're not injected with resin, all liquid in their bodies is exchanged, turning the bodies literally into plastic.
When I was a kid and saw it(I'm old) it was called "bodies" or "the bodies exhibit." Didn't know they changed names since then, or if it was even a thing still tbh.
I also knew them by the name Bodies like 10 years ago. I think "Body Worlds" is a different company now.
(Not sure what happened to the old one, or if I'm even right on this. Should have done wikipedia research but don't wanna fall into another rabbit hole :))
I believe that they went to ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies:_The_Exhibition
is what they are referring to here.
