Exhibition/About seems broken

[Colin Clark]

Hey,

Couch UUIDs are probably the only stable identifier we can use without making assumptions about the structure of the museum's data. It makes sense to me to go ahead and do this, though I would have perhaps preferred postponing that change until after the 0.3b release for Hugue's pilot.

Antranig, I think your commit did indeed break the Exhibition About page. The question I have is how we should fix this; Yura, you mentioned that you think the switch from keying by title to UUID is trivial. Do we know if this change will also fix Exhibition About?

Regressions, regressions. :(
