This word consists of the verb 'wandern' (to hike / to wander) and the noun 'die Ausstellung' (the exhibition). So it describes an exhibition that 'wanders' from place to place.
Im Stadtmuseum gibt es gerade eine interessante Wanderausstellung zur Geschichte der Fotografie.

A traveling exhibition is often described with verbs that express its movement or presentation. Common phrases are 'macht Halt in (einer Stadt)' (stops in a city), 'wird gezeigt' (is shown), or 'ist zu Gast bei' (is a guest at / is hosted by).
Die Wanderausstellung macht für drei Monate in unserer Stadt Halt.

To name the topic of the exhibition, you use the preposition 'über' (about, + accusative) or 'zu' (on / about, + dative).

'die Ausstellung' and 'die Wanderausstellung' both refer to a presentation of artworks or other objects. 'Ausstellung' is the general term and does not say whether it stays in one place. A 'Wanderausstellung' is a special kind of exhibition that is shown one after another in different places. They can be confused because every 'Wanderausstellung' is also an 'Ausstellung'. If the change of location is important, 'Wanderausstellung' is more precise.
Wegen des großen Interesses bleibt die Wanderausstellung zwei Wochen länger in unserer Stadt.
Because of the great interest, the traveling exhibition is staying in our city for two weeks longer.
