During his 33-year tenure at the Folk Art Museum, János Gaál tended to the restoration and often the salvage of the remaining artifacts of Hungarian culture.
In addition to the relics of the furniture collection and the religious collection of the museum, he restored the furniture of various catholic and protestant churches, the Pannonhalma Archabbey and the Rákóczi Castle in Sárospatak as well.
He conserved artifacts and made copies, and the objects close to his heart inspired him to create.
The favorite technique of János Gaál is decorative painting.
