The Basto Land Museum opened to the public in 23 May 2004, located at the station of Arco de Baúlhe. Its presentation of the Documentation Center distinguishes two funds: the municipal and the Railway Center, belonging to the National Railway Museum Foundation and kept by the local museum.

Books, journals, photographs, maps and archive documents help to investigate the region. The description recalls the organization of the collection in 2011; it is not a confirmation of current consultation conditions.

In February 2011, the Museum also announced the conference and inventory of railway objects, based on the inventory of CP technicians included in the 2000 protocol.
