Throughout lockdown, museum staff have been busy preparing for exhibitions ahead of the reopening.
Steve Crowley, North Hertfordshire District Council s service director, said: “We are very pleased we are able to reopen the museum again to the public and encourage everyone to come along and enjoy what it has to offer.”
Every NYC borough has a Main Street and a Broadway.
In Manhattan, Broadway runs north from Bowling Green and, under a variety of names, runs north in NY State almost all the way to the Canadian border. Other than a few other aboriginal roads such as the Bowery and St. Nicholas Ave., it’s one of the few roads that predated the colonial era that’s still in use on Manhattan Island; it was used by the Lenape Indians before the Dutch arrived, and was probably in use by the buffalo before the Native-Americans arrived. It is “broad” in a physical sense only when you get north of Columbus Circle it’s of average width south of that, and called Broadway (Brede-weg) because it was wide in comparison to the narrow cart paths of New Amsterdam that were laid out when the area was first colonized in the 1620s. In the 2000s, traffic engineers have rendered Broadway as no longer a completely uninterrupted road, and it’s a pedestrian plaza for parts of Times Square and Herald Square.
