What museums and art galleries in Los Angeles are open after 5pm?
I will be arriving at LAX in the afternoon, and will have eight hours until my next flight.
I have noticed that most museums and art galleries shut at 5pm. Are there any prominent ones that are reasonably close to LAX that have later closing times?

Not really tourist attractions, per se, but the Marina Del Ray harbor is less than 10 minutes by taxi, and the Manhattan Beach Pier is about the same distance. Neither of those are constrained by times and a walk about admiring the 1%'s boating choices could be relaxing, I dunno.

Then there is the In-N-Out Burger stand just off airport property. Grab a world's famous burger and shake and enjoy watching airplanes take off and land at the airport.

Another choice you may not have considered, but (especially if you have a decently nice video capable camera) is to go to one of the spotter points shown here and film some airplanes. Post it on Youtube and be the next plane-spotter sensation.
I don't know how to imbed a video, but this is an example from LAX
