Manchester Art Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, and entry is free. It has no lockers, but visitors are welcome to carry suitcases or hand luggage with them as they explore.

The National Football Museum, by contrast, provides a cloakroom where you can store bags and coats for £4 per bag and £2 per coat. It's open daily from 10am to 5pm, with last admission at 4pm, so there's a secure spot for your things if you're planning a longer visit.

The Northern Quarter neighbourhood itself provides no luggage storage or left-luggage facility of its own, so don't count on dropping a bag there while you wander its streets. The Manchester Museum is a 25-minute walk from Piccadilly Station, covering 1.2 miles or 1.9 km, which is a fair trek with luggage in tow.
