Nope, its free all day. The Museum of Cultures website says its free on fri from 11 till 18, but I think that's when they are open anyway.

As of January 2010 the Helsinki University Museum Arppeanum has free entrance every day.

Helsinki University Museum was established in 2003 by merging the former University Museum specialising in the history of the University of Helsinki, the Museum of Medical History, the Museum of the History of Veterinary Medicine, the Museum of the History of Dentistry and the Collections of Craft Science. To complement the new conglomeration of museums, the Mineral Cabinet, which today belongs to the Finnish Museum of Natural History, returned to its original location in the Arppeanum building. Each year the museum also holds two temporary exhibitions in a specially designed area
