On the Prospect Street side, giant storefronts look out onto the village—no doubt a part of the effort to make the museum extra inviting and accessible. To the south, a full-height window, tilted slightly, reveals the beach-shack vernacular of the neighboring Scripps Inn. And on the west, of course, large panels of glazing open the interior to the mesmerizing expanse of the Pacific. (and it’s a big exception) is 1˚2˚3˚4˚, a 1997 installation by Robert Irwin that cuts three square voids into the tinted windows of a west-facing rear gallery, providing panoramic views of the seaside.
