By Rhett MorganDevotees of Will Rogers can indulge in dioramas this weekend.

Thirteen Jo Mora miniatures depicting Rogers' life have been relocated to a single room at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and will be dedicated during a ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Many of the dioramas—miniature, three-dimensional scenes—have been a fixture of the museum since 1941, but they haven't been in a single room since the early 1990s, said Steve Gragert, executive director of the museum.And:Titled "A View Through the Life of Will Rogers," the dioramas chronicle the famed Oklahoman from his birth in Oologah, Indian Territory, to his 1935 death in a plane crash in Alaska.Comment:  For more on the subject, see Rogers Not Recognized as Cherokee and Will Rogers the Cowboy Indian.
