The Biff Tannen Museum ticket.

"Just before the hotel entrance was the door to another building, the BIFF TANNEN MUSEUM according to the neon sign out front. Marty stopped for a second to stare at the display area in front of the ticket window. / There, in the middle of the display, was the black roadster Biff had driven back in 1955 — the same one that had gotten bashed in that collision with a manure truck. Except now the car had been totally restored; it was so sleek and brightly polished that it almost looked brand new. And next to that was a lifelike wax figure of Biff! It was a pretty good likeness too — the same burly body and sloping forehead. They had even gotten the smirk right."
—From Back to the Future Part II by Craig Shaw Gardner (quote, pages 111 and 112)

The Biff Tannen Museum was a museum dedicated to Biff Tannen's illustrious 1985A life. There was a documentary on a video monitor at the entrance which Marty McFly watched after he traveled back home after a brief trip to 2015, hoping to be in the 1985 he knew.

It was attached to Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel, and contained among its exhibits a waxwork figure of Biff standing next to his newly-restored Ford Super De Luxe Convertible from 1955, both of which could seen at the main entrance — outside which was a sign that read Smoking Required. According to the tickets, admission to the museum was $5.00.

While here, Marty was found and knocked out by Match, Skinhead and 3-D.
