May be I don't understand your problem well, but it seems to me that 
there is another way of "closing" the world in this particulat context : 
using a *functional* property :closingDays, and have its value be an 
rdf:List collection, which in Turle/SPARQL is written :

:WidgetMuseum   :openingPeriod   _:p1
_:p1      :begins       2008-03-01
_:p1      :ends         2008-10-31
_:p1      :closingDays  (:Tuesday :Sunday)


Whether this structure is easy to query with SPARQL, I'm not sure... But 
it seems to me that it makes your knowledge about opening and closing 
days complete.
