Let's stop being so cool. CDMX is one of the most heavily museumed cities in the world and I went to a few.
My personal favorite was El Carmen, which is a 400 year old convent with art and mummies.
I went to a few contemporary art museums, all of which were fine. A lot of contemporary art is lame imo, but it can be fun. I'd go to MUAC which is on the campus of the National Autonomous University because you also get to see the campus, which is really beautiful. Two places that are underrated tourist spots: universities and cemeteries. (pics lost).
The national art museum is pretty good, and the building is great.
The objective best is the anthropology museum. It covers all of the ancient civilizations and their history, which is pretty interesting. It is full of awesome Indian Jones stuff and, it should almost go without saying, located in a gorgeous park. There is also a contemporary art museum in the same park.
Pics also lost. But I was lucky enough to go when it was raining and to see this thing in action. Photos really don't do it justice, and mine weren't as good anyway.
The doors to the outside areas were closed. I don't know if that was because of the rain, or if it was normal. But there was a lot of cool stuff like this I had to see through windows.

Off topic. My advice to you and almost anyone in LA, or CA in general, is to get out. IDK anything about you, but unless you have a great career tied to the area and/or make serious bank, it's just so hard to get ahead. "Oooh, maybe one day I can be a huge success and buy a 2 bedroom condo." No way I'd be taking all of these trips if my rent was 3x higher and I was paying all those taxes, and gas money, etc.
Even if you do really well financially, the traffic, other daily frustrations, taxes, terrible social services... they're all even worse than you think. Once you escape it's hard to believe you dealt with it. One of the things that really struck me upon moving to Vegas was how much more free time I had.
