The Museu das Terras de Basto opened to the public on 23 May 2004, based at Arco de Baúlhe station. Its presentation of the Documentation Centre distinguishes two collections: the municipal collection and that of the Railway Museum, owned by the Fundação Museu Nacional Ferroviário and held by the local museum.
Books, periodicals, photographs, maps and archive documents support research into the region. The description recalls the organisation of the collection in 2011; it does not confirm current access arrangements.
In February 2011, the Museum also announced the checking and cataloguing of railway objects, starting from the inventory drawn up by CP technicians and included in the 2000 agreement. Preserving memory meant identifying and recording each object.
